David Moyes recalled his sideline celebrations, a moment that thrilled the traveling Everton fans. He also praised birthday boy Beto's well-deserved goal and emphasized the importance of the 1-1 draw against Brighton in the final moments of the match.
At Amex Stadium, Everton displayed tenacious defense in the first half, while further enhancing their attacking performance in the second half. Kiernan Diussbury-Hall's close-range shot was successfully saved by Brighton goalkeeper Bart Fabrizio, while Michael Keane and James Tarkowski also created good shooting opportunities.
In the 73rd minute, Brighton took the lead with a volley from Pascal Gross. However, in the sixth minute of stoppage time, Beto capitalized on a Jack O'Brien shot to score on the rebound, dramatically leveling the score. The Everton manager and the traveling fans erupted in jubilation at this crucial moment.
David Moyes said: "I think the team deserved this victory. Every point in the league right now is crucial for us. We don't want to lose, especially not to lose to the support of our away fans."
“We hope to maintain our good away record, and I think getting a point here today is a very good result. Although we won here last year, it’s safe to say that very few teams can take a win from this stadium.”
“We improved in the second half, but that goal was really disappointing because it looked like we were almost under pressure. We made mistakes in several areas, failed to capitalize on our chances, and failed to score. Before we could even react, we were down a man in defense, and the opponent got there before Jack could finish the attack.”
“I wouldn’t say Brighton’s goal was completely unexpected. I think whichever team scores first will launch a counter-attack. We then intensified our attack, sending more balls into the box, and our threat level clearly increased later in the game.”
“I’ve always said that Beto is a very good player. I’m glad the fans were able to support him today because he’s been going through a difficult period recently, not scoring many goals and his form has dipped. But around this time last season, he started scoring key goals for the team, and maybe now he’s regained his confidence, which has allowed him to seize opportunities and finish shots.”
