"I think it's not deliberate tugging of the hair, certainly not violent, certainly not aggressive," he said. "This was done in an action in the game, on a ball coming up, and unless you have played the game, you might not understand. "I have been a centre-half and there is no way I am jumping to outjump a big centre-forward and think: 'By the way, I am going to outjump him and, at the same time, I am going to pull his hair'.

From the moment you enter the Hill Dickinson Stadium the division's most recent addition, a red-brick church by the river you are treated like royalty.

At each twist and turn, another host is there, smiling and pointing you in the right direction.

The Toffees drew 0-0 in a dour match against Burnley on Saturday, with Beto starting as Barry - who has established himself as Moyes' first-choice striker - coming on as a second-half substitute. Beto and Barry both forced smart stops out of Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, though the duo have just two Premier League goals between them this season.

I think in all the press conferences I've been in, I've always said I don't think we'll be doing loads of business in January. If we find some players, we'll be delighted to do it and the CEO will be as well, and the owners, if we can do it. But I think it's more to do with trying to have a plan where the ownership want us to have a plan and want us to prepare and do everything in a certain fashion.

Defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are out until January with hamstring injuries for Everton. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye and playmaker Iliman Ndiaye will be at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal until at least early January. Jack Grealish had been a doubt after suffering an issue against Chelsea, but Moyes said the winger will be fit, while on-loan Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl could return from a hernia injury.

Mikel Arteta will celebrate six years as Arsenal's manager when the Premier League leaders visit Everton this Saturday, and he is hoping to mark the occasion with a win. Arteta replaced Unai Emery in 2019 and has gone on to lift an FA Cup and two Community Shields, while also coming close to ending the Gunners' wait for the top-flight title. The Spaniard has overseen 226 Premier League matches in that time, winning 134 of those games (D44 L48), averaging a win percentage of 59.3%.

Everton are interested in signing the Brazilian striker Yuri Alberto from Corinthians. The 24-year-old is in impressive form right now, and he has 18 goals to his name this season. He was likely to cost around 40 million. According to TEAMtalk, Everton are leading the race to secure his signature, and they have already made enquiries for the player. West Ham United are interested in the striker as well.

Leeds United and Everton are looking to improve their defensive unit during the January transfer window, and they are keen on Natan. The Real Betis defender has done quite well in La Liga, and he has attracted the attention of the Premier League club. According to a report from Fichajes, he will cost around 40 million. It will be interesting to see which of the two English clubs decides to follow up on their interest with an official proposal at the end of the season.

Liverpool's rivalry with Everton is as fierce and deep-seated as they come in English football. The two clubs, who until this year were separated by the short distance across Stanley Park, are two of the Premier League's best-supported teams. Neither has been relegated from English football's top flight since the Premier League's 1992 inauguration while more recently both clubs have undergone stadium moves or redevelopment.

David Wycherley, from Everton Fans' Forum, said "his story teaches us a lesson that we can't ignore". "Hopefully [the bench] will remind people to slow down, to check in with each other and to talk and just ask that extra question about how people are getting on in life. "But also to listen as well. Sometimes it's just as important to be that listening ear for the people around you."

Malick Thiaw scored the quickest goal of the Premier League season so far just hours after Phil Foden had set the record. The Newcastle defender headed home after just 55 seconds at Hill Dickinson Stadium to give the Magpies an early lead in their clash with Everton. The goal came following Foden's opening goal for Manchester City against Leeds United at the Etihad earlier in the day that clocked in at 59 seconds.

Despite the Toffees being reduced to ten men for the vast majority of the game, Idrissa Gueye saw red for an astonishing altercation with teammate Michael Keane in the 13th minute, Man United struggled to break down the resilient visitors, ultimately losing 1-0 to a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strike. The disappointing result, which saw the Red Devils' five-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end, has prompted a furious reaction from the Portuguese coach behind the scenes, according to a reliable insider.

Tensions often boil over on a football pitch, but it's generally seen as the done thing for players to train their sights on the opposition. That's why you had to pinch yourself when Everton team-mates Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane squared up to each other in the 13th minute of their side's 1-0 win at Manchester United on Monday night.

Idrissa Gueye received a round of applause from the Everton squad after apologising for his extraordinary red card in Monday's victory at Manchester United. The midfielder became the first Premier League player to be dismissed for striking a team-mate in 17 years when slapping Michael Keane at Old Trafford. Everton's performed heroically with 10 men for 85 minutes, stoppage time included, to hand David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager in 18 attempts
