Everton managed to secure a last-minute draw against Fulham thanks to a powerful header from substitute Beto. The striker’s goal extended Everton’s unbeaten run to five matches and denied Fulham a victory. Despite the spirited fightback, Everton had some disappointing performances on the field.
Jordan Pickford had a decent game despite being exposed for Alex Iwobi’s goal. Ashley Young redeemed himself with a stoppage time assist but struggled defensively throughout the match. Vitalii Mykolenko looked ponderous at times and gave away possession cheaply, while James Tarkowski and Michael Keane failed to block Iwobi’s shot for the goal.
Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure worked hard in midfield but lacked control, with Doucoure making way late in the game. Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil put in effort but failed to make a significant impact. Iliman Ndiaye battled hard but struggled against Fulham’s defense.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a frustrating night, with a goal disallowed for offside. Substitutes Jesper Lindstrom, Orel Mangala, and Jarrad Branthwaite were unable to change the course of the game until Beto’s late heroics.
Overall, Everton showed character to salvage a draw but will need to improve their performance in future matches to secure more positive results. The team will be looking to build on this result and continue their unbeaten run in the upcoming games.
