Everton came from a goal down to rescue a point right at the death against Brighton.
The Toffees took a point against the Seagulls down at the Amex to go eighth in the Premier League table.
Everton have been travelling well lately under David Moyes and many fans saw this game as an opportunity to get three points on the board.
Wow, just wow! Sum that up for us, Toffees! 🤯
Who'd have thought Beto would save the day? 🤣

But it was to be another slog for Everton after going a goal down to Pascal Gross.
Brighton thought they’d scored again through Kaoru Mitoma, but thankfully Joel Veltman was offside in the build-up.
Everton kept plugging away though and did finally get their rewards for an improved display through Beto.
But one man was seen as the main catalyst for the comeback on Match of the Day.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall returned to action for Everton against Leeds, and put in a great display coming off the bench.
Indeed, James Justin praised Dewsbury-Hall for the quality he showed in between the lines.
Against Brighton, Moyes threw him in from the start.
It was a first-half to forget for Everton, but there was an improvement in the second and Dewsbury-Hall’s efforts were acknowledged on Match of the Day.
Steph Houghton said: “I think there was definitely a certain change with Everton’s approach in the second half. They became a little bit more direct.

“They were more connected in midfield. Dewsbury-Hall, Armstrong, Barry, everybody just seemed to be that little bit quicker. One and two-touch. A bit more energy going forward. Dewsbury-Hall was probably the main player in terms of instigating that. He comes close there with the shot.
“Again, Dewsbury-Hall initially the press, recognising the square ball. Trying to make things happen for Everton. I think Brighton really struggled when he was on the ball trying to create things.”
Dewsbury-Hall a major positive for Everton
Following the injury to Jack Grealish, and the lack of output from players like Dwight McNeil and Tyler Dibling, Dewsbury-Hall’s return for Everton is huge.
Before his injury he was in terrific form and it was a massive blow to lose him.
Now he’s back and he’s already showing what an important player he is in this team with his creativity and his tactical intelligence.

He probably should have scored yesterday and put Everton 1-0 up. Although perhaps we shouldn’t take away from the save from Bart Verbruggen.
But overall it was another good performance from Dewsbury-Hall, who looks set to be a key player in the second half of the season.
