All the reaction from Brighton’s 1-1 draw with Everton at the Amex Stadium
Everton's controversial late leveller at Brighton was allowed to stand following a VAR check.
The Seagulls were heading for all three points after Pascal Gross netted in the 73rd minute from Yasin Ayari's cross.
But David Moyes' Everton are a determined outfit and Beto fired home in the 97th minute.
The goal was checked as Everton defender James Tarkowski was in an offside position but was he is in goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's eyeline?
The Premier League matchday centre posted: "#BHAEVE – 90+7’ The referee’s call of goal was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed that Tarkowski did not impact the goalkeeper’s ability to save the ball while in an offside position."
Beto sparked jubilant scenes at the death by tapping home after Jake O’Brien’s thumping effort was spilled by Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
“It was a bit of a crazy ending because it didn’t look as if we were going to get the equaliser,” said Moyes.
“It was in many ways deserved. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has a chance to put us one up, they missed a big chance in the first half as well.”
Brighton fanbase increasingly frustrated
Brighton remain three points below Everton after the late twist left them with just one victory from their last 11 top-flight fixtures.
Following murmurings of discontent from sections of Albion’s fanbase in the build-up to the game, head coach Hurzeler said he will not hide from criticism.
“I think there are only a small group of fans (who are unhappy),” said the German.
“They can share their frustration absolutely, they can share their frustration about my person, I know it’s part of football.
“But the most important thing is that they support the team and that’s what they did today brilliantly, so I’m very thankful for them.
“I’m open for good and negative feedback so therefore I won’t hide, I want to go through this challenge together with the fans.
“We have to manage the key moments better and in one moment we weren’t alive, we didn’t manage it well and this cost us the game.
“It feels painful but we will overcome this phase and come again.”
