Substitute Beto struck in the seventh minute of added time to earn **Everton** a dramatic 1-1 Premier League draw at **Brighton**.
Albion were poised to celebrate a first win in four top-flight outings thanks to Pascal Gross' first goal since returning to the club from Borussia Dortmund.
But, after Republic of Ireland defender Jake O'Brien's thumping effort was spilled by Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen at the death, Beto tapped home the rebound, sparking wild scenes in the away end and prompting Toffees boss David Moyes to run on to the pitch to celebrate.
Everton move on to 34 points courtesy of the late drama, while Brighton remain three points below following a solitary victory from their last 11 league fixtures.

Alex Scott wrapped it up for Bournemouth
Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott were on target to earn **Bournemouth** a hard-fought 2-0 victory over **Wolves** at Molineux.
Bournemouth had to work hard for their third league victory in four which compounded basement side Wolves to a first home defeat in 2026.
Wolves did not do a lot wrong in the first period until Andre's error led to 19-year-old Kroupi firing in his eighth goal of the campaign.
The home side were unable to break down the Bournemouth defence but it was not for the want of trying as Djordje Petrovic was forced into a string of second-half saves to keep their lead intact while Joao Gomes hit the post.
The Cherries have not enjoyed the best of times away from their own patch but Scott sunk a late dagger into Wolves to seal all three points and their first win on the road since a 1-0 victory over Tottenham in August.
Wolves' bright start to 2026 has seemingly come to a crashing end and they took another step towards relegation with back-to-back defeats and their 18th loss of the season.
