Everton held Brentford to a 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
David Moyes wasn’t overly impressed with Everton’s performance in the capital, but his side certainly showed resilience.
The point keeps Everton in the mix for a European finish, although Opta’s supercomputer expects the Toffees to miss out on the top seven.
Sum that one up for us, Blues! 🤩

There was something notable that emerged from the clash, and it should confirm one player’s departure this summer transfer window.

Tyler Dibling should leave Everton this summer transfer window
Tyler Dibling arrived at Everton in a £40m deal last summer, and many expected him to be a key player for Moyes.
However, it hasn’t panned out like that at all, as Dibling has hardly been given a look-in, starting just four Premier League games.
The 20-year-old was yet again an unused substitute yesterday, meaning he’s played just one minute of football since January.

Chelsea loanee Tyrique George came off the bench ahead of Dibling, so clearly it’s time for him to depart on loan this summer transfer window.
Moyes evidently feels the England under-21 international is behind George and Dwight McNeil, who aren’t even the first-choice starters.
The Toffees are already exploring deals to sign another winger, with West Ham United’s Crysencio Summerville and Koln’s Said El Mala linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Dibling would certainly benefit from a loan to the top end of the Championship, or perhaps even the lower end of the Premier League.
Jarrad Branthwaite wasn’t able to cement himself as an Everton first-teamer until he had a successful loan spell at PSV, so that looks like the roadmap for the former Southampton talisman.
