DAVID MOYES GOES WILD: EVERTON BOSS CHANNELS DAVID PLEAT AFTER DRAMATIC LATE BETO EQUALIZER
David Moyes admits he nearly tried a knee slide after Beto’s late equaliser saved Everton in a dramatic 1-1 draw at Brighton.
The Toffees boss couldn’t hide how he felt at the Amex. When Beto, who’d just come on, poked in a goal deep into stoppage time, wiping out Pascal Gross’ earlier strike, Moyes just let it all out.
His reaction? Honestly, it looked a lot like that old clip of David Pleat sprinting across Maine Road when Luton pulled off their great escape in ’83. Moyes, at 62, even thought about going for a knee slide. He did pick up a yellow card, but that’s not going to stop him next time.
“I hope you’re not going to start calling me ‘Pleaty’,” Moyes joked.
“The thing is, David Pleat never got booked for it. Back then, it was fine—people loved seeing managers go wild after a big goal. Now, we’re told we can’t leave the technical area, can’t celebrate properly. That’s the stuff you all want to see and talk about!”
Would he do it again? “You bet I would!” he said, laughing. “Honestly, if I were a bit more nimble, maybe I would’ve tried the knee slide too. What’s one yellow card anyway? Might as well go for it.”
Everton really didn’t get going in the first half. After the break, though, they took control. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed a huge chance, then Gross got his first Brighton goal since coming back from Dortmund. Brighton almost went ahead earlier too—Mitoma came close around the 19th minute—and for a while, it looked like they’d just hang on.
Then, right at the death, Beto pounced after Bart Verbruggen spilt a shot from Jake O’Brien. The away end exploded.
“It was a mad finish,” Moyes said. “It didn’t look like we’d get the equaliser, but in the end, we earned it. Dewsbury-Hall should’ve put us ahead, and they missed a big one in the first half too.”
Brighton now sit three points behind Everton, with only one win in their last 11 league games. The mood among Albion fans hasn’t been great, and coach Fabian Hurzeler knows it.
“I think it’s just a small group feeling that way,” he said. “They’re allowed to be frustrated—even with me. That’s football. But what matters is they stuck behind the team today, and I appreciate that.”
He’s not running from criticism. “I’m open to it, good or bad. I want to go through this with the fans. We just need to handle those big moments better. We switched off for one second, and it cost us the match. It hurts, but we’ll get through it and bounce back.”
"FUMING" DAVID MOYES: EVERTON BOSS SLAMS MISSED CHANCES AFTER SHOCK HOME DEFEAT TO CHERRIES
David Moyes was left fuming as Everton threw away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 to Bournemouth. See player ratings and match highlights.
David Moyes couldn’t hide his frustration after Everton managed to throw away a 2-1 lead against Bournemouth. You could see it all over his face; he was fuming.
Everton actually seemed pretty settled after Iliman Ndiaye scored that first-half penalty. They weren’t exactly sparkling, but they had the game in their hands. Then, just eight minutes after halftime, everything unravelled. The chance to climb up to sixth in the table? Gone. Their wild European dream? Looking shaky.
Twice, they let Bournemouth score easy headers: first, Rayan, their £25 million January signing, and then Amine Adli. Things went from bad to worse when Jake O’Brien got himself sent off for dragging down Adli as he broke free.
Moyes didn’t feel like talking much. His press conference barely lasted three minutes. He just sighed and pointed out a couple of golden opportunities they wasted: Thierno Barry missed from close range, then Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s shot got headed over by James Hill.
“We probably missed a couple of good chances to get the second goal, so we only have ourselves to blame,” he said. “The players are doing a great job here; we just didn’t have quite enough tonight.”
Asked about O’Brien’s red card, Moyes just shrugged it off. “No opinion on it, no opinion on referees anymore.”
This was Everton’s fifth defeat at Hill Dickinson Stadium. They’ve only won four times there, and just once since November 8. Moyes wasn’t interested in digging into what’s going wrong at their new ground. “We’re playing good teams in the Premier League. Bournemouth are a good team.”
On the other side, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola didn’t pretend they’d played well. “I’m happy with the result,” he said, “but honestly, it wasn’t our best performance. That’s football, though. We played better against Villa and only got a point. Today, a draw probably would’ve been fair, but we found a way.”
He pointed to the set-piece goal as the difference. “It’s important for us. Everton is one of the best defensive teams, so scoring like that and winning that felt good.”
"PROPER FOOTBALL": DANIEL FARKE HAILS LEEDS' BRAVERY AFTER ERASING CHELSEA’S TWO-GOAL LEAD
Leeds United clawed back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Chelsea. Discover Daniel Farke’s tactical secrets and Noah Okafor’s heroics.
Daniel Farke watched his Leeds United team claw their way back from 2-0 down at Chelsea and leave with a 2-2 draw.
Things looked bleak at first. Joao Pedro put Chelsea ahead in the first half, and Cole Palmer buried a penalty after the break. Chelsea controlled the game, and honestly, it felt like they were just cruising to a win.
But then Leeds woke up. In the space of six minutes, everything flipped. First, Moises Caicedo fouled Jayden Bogle in the box, and Lukas Nmecha stepped up and smashed home the penalty. Suddenly, Leeds had hope. Next, Bogle just wouldn’t quit; he battled his way into the box, somehow got the ball to Noah Okafor, and Okafor tapped in the equaliser.
“Proper night of football,” Farke said afterwards, still buzzing. “Great night for everyone with Leeds United. I’m so proud of my players; they deserve a lot of praise.
Chelsea are flying at the moment, winning in the Premier League, winning in the Champions League. And we come here as a newly promoted side, missing some key guys – Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Pascal Struijk – really the backbone of our team. Some players were only just back from injury, too.
“With Chelsea’s quality, going 2-0 down can mean a long, ugly night. But this team doesn’t give up. We believe we can always fight back.”
Farke admitted that going 2-0 down was partly Leeds’ own fault. He couldn’t figure out why Jaka Bijol shoved Joao Pedro in the box; he thought the penalty was soft, but still, it was a needless risk. Even after those mistakes, Farke felt his team earned the point with their mentality. Chelsea pushed late, but Leeds hung on.
Okafor’s equaliser followed his goal against Nottingham Forest last weekend, probably his best showing for Leeds so far. Farke said it wasn’t easy to leave him out of the starting lineup at Chelsea, but he had his reasons.
“It was tough, but I had to use my head, not my heart,” he explained.
“Noah needs a bit longer to recover because of his physical style. We figured our wingers would have to do a ton of defensive work, and honestly, that’s not their biggest strength.
“We planned to keep things tight, adjust our formation as the match went on, and throw more attackers on late. We didn’t plan to be 2-0 down, but the idea was always to go for it in the last 20 or 30 minutes. Credit to the players; they earned a massive point tonight.”
