“That is CRAZY, Everton won because of him especially, he was a THREAT to our defensive midfield together with Beto at least we could have done better”- “Brentford Boss STUNS fans with Praise for 3 Everton players and ‘Crazy’ Claim after THRILLING Draw
Everton extended their unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches with a 1-1 draw at Brentford.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank believes his side deserved a point after the game ended in a draw against Everton.
The Toffees maintained their unbeaten streak with the result at Gtech Community Stadium, where Brentford took the lead just before halftime.
Yoane Wissa capitalized on a failed Everton clearance from a long throw-in, heading home in first-half stoppage time.
What’s been said
Everton created numerous chances throughout the match and found an equalizer in the 77th minute when Jake O’Brien scored his first goal for the club with a header.
Despite Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken being named man of the match, highlighting Everton’s missed opportunities, Frank felt that a draw was a fair result.
“As always, there were a lot of good moments, but also some things we could have done better,” Frank said.
“I feel like our performances are consistent: not bad, quite good, but not top-level. That consistency could have earned us three points today.
“We lacked the final edge to go 2-0 up, which would have given us the win. That said, Mark Flekken made three incredible saves. His early saves gave us the chance to win, and then he ensured we got a point in the end. A draw is probably fair.”
Praise for Trio
Everton are now 15 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. When David Moyes took over from Sean Dyche at Goodison Park, the Blues were just one point above the drop zone.
Moyes has managed to get the best out of striker Beto, who had scored five goals in four games before missing three big chances against Brentford.
Frank has been impressed with Beto, along with Jake O’Brien and James Garner since Moyes’ arrival.
Frank said: “I think it’s small tweaks, not too much difference from before.
There have been slight changes in personnel for various reasons, but I think Garner has done very well, O’Brien scored today and has done very well, and Beto has done well.
“I know it sounds strange because he had three one-on-one chances, but we controlled him in all phases of open play.
On the first one, Ethan slips, and my center-backs didn’t look great on the second one. It’s about tweaks in how they handle it.”
