Bizarre moment in Arsenal vs. Everton match: Referee blew the whistle twice

In the 31st week of the Premier League, Arsenal visited Everton at Goodison Park. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams scoring one goal each. Leandro Trossard scored for Arsenal in the 34th minute, while Everton's equalizer came from an Iliman Ndiaye penalty in the 49th minute.

In the final minutes of the match, an error by referee Darren England made headlines. England blew the final whistle before the stoppage time had concluded. After players protested, the referee checked his watch and allowed the game to continue for a short while before ending the match.

With this draw, Arsenal increased their points to 62 but missed the chance to close the gap with league leaders Liverpool. Everton, meanwhile, extended their winless streak to 6 matches and remained in 14th place with 35 points.

Next week, Arsenal will host Brentford at home, while Everton will travel to face Nottingham Forest.
