Everton drew their third successive home game 1-1 as John Carew came off the bench to equalise for Aston Villa at Goodison Park.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov had opened the scoring for the hosts in first-half stoppage time, but Carew – who had replaced Emile Heskey at half-time – made it 1-1 within two minutes of the restart.
Both teams finished the match with 10 men after Bilyaletdinov and then Carlos Cuellar were given their marching orders late on by referee Lee Probert.
