Beto’s goal cannot hide the fact that he prevented Everton from suffering one of their most humiliating and ruthless losses in
recent memory last night.
The Toffees looked uninspired and flat from the opening minute, hardly ever posing a threat to the Fulham goal.
Unfortunately, that continued from the first minute onward, possibly until Beto took the field.
The Cottagers backline had countless problems as a result of his physical presence with Michael Keane, and ultimately, the strain was evident.
But Beto deserves much more credit for what he did right after the full-time whistle.The Fulham goal was barely threatened by the lifeless and uninspired Toffees.
Beto’s full-time response demonstrates how much he values Everton.
After scoring the equalizer, it was essentially the final significant action of the game as the clock reached 94 minutes.
And a crucial one at that, bringing Everton’s Premier League winning streak to five games.
At full time, he was seen crying uncontrollably and hiding his face from the cameras to conceal his feelings, indicating that the goal meant much more to him personally than it did to the team
And for good reason, considering Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s struggles over the past few years, not just this season.
The 27-year-old first struggled with fitness after a relentless string of injury setbacks.
Despite his physical condition, he has also struggled with his form, managing just two goals this season out of a predicted 3.46 goals total, and only netting seven goals from 26 Premier League starts last seaso
