Substitute Beto struck in the seventh minute of added time to earn Everton a dramatic 1-1 Premier League draw at Brighton. Everton move on to 34 points courtesy of the late drama, while Brighton remain three points below following a solitary victory from their last 11 league fixtures. Seagulls midfielder Gross saw a close-range effort deflected wide and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford kept out a backheeled attempt from Danny Welbeck during a bright start from the hosts. Everton began a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium by beating Brighton 2-0 in the reverse fixture in August. But, with only seconds of the contest remaining, Verbruggen was unable to hold on to O’Brien’s powerful effort and Beto pounced.
