David Moyes has just done something that hasn’t been done at Everton since 2017 under Sam Allardyce
Everton were not able to take all three points from Brentford on Wednesday night but they were able to secure themselves a draw.
David Moyes’ side were made to battle for a result after conceding late in the first half to find themselves trailing at the break.
There has been plenty of reasons for optimism at Everton over recent weeks with results taking a big improvement under the 61-year-old.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank said Everton did not create many chances despite Beto missing three one-on-one opportunities during the 90 minutes.
Although the chances were there for the Toffees to leave with all three points, fans will be pleased to see another game pass by without defeat.
In the process of Jake O’Brien’s header securing a draw for the Blues, it also equalled a record which has not been matched on Merseyside since 2017.
Everton equal unbeaten run of 2017 under Sam Allardyce
Moyes was left furious with Jack Harrison against Brentford with the winger’s final ball leaving a lot to be desired.
But there was a real moment of quality from O’Brien which prevented Everton’s first loss in the league since the middle of January.
Everton have now gone seven games in the Premier League unbeaten for the first time since 2017.
Under manager Sam Allardyce, the Toffees were able to put together an impressive run during the 2017/18 campaign.
