Everton managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Goodison Park, thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser from Beto. This result extended Everton's unbeaten streak in the Premier League to five matches. Despite Fulham's dominant performance, they were left frustrated as they couldn't hold onto their lead.

Alex Iwobi, playing against his former club, gave Marco Silva's team the lead in the 61st minute. Earlier in the match, Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a goal disallowed for offside after Idrissa Gueye hit the post. Everton struggled to create clear chances until Beto scored with a close-range header in the 94th minute.

Beto's late intervention was crucial for Everton. Although he entered the game after 81 minutes, he made a significant impact. He recorded the highest expected goals (xG) among Everton players with a score of 0.39 and took three shots, more than any of his teammates.

This was Beto's fourth Premier League goal in his 35th appearance. Notably, three of these goals have been either equalisers or have put his team ahead. His performance highlighted Everton's lack of attacking threat before his introduction.

Following this draw, Fulham sits in 10th place after halting a two-game losing streak. Meanwhile, Everton moved up to 15th position with nine points. The result was disappointing for Fulham as they failed to capitalise on their dominance throughout the match.

The match saw Fulham narrowly escape conceding earlier when an offside call saved them from Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s disallowed goal. Despite their strong showing, Fulham could not maintain their advantage and had to settle for a point.

Everton's ability to salvage a draw highlights their resilience and determination under pressure. As they continue their unbeaten run, they will look to build on this momentum in upcoming fixtures.
