David Moyes dismayed by what Everton player did as Bournemouth supporters deliver brutal reminder
Chris Beesley picks out some moments missed from Goodison Park’s last-ever cup tie as Everton lost 2-0 to Bournemouth
Everton’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth ensured that Saturday’s game was the last-ever cup tie at Goodison Park. Chris Beesley picks out some of the potential moments missed from the disappointing but historic occasion for Blues.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words. A week earlier, Everton manager David Moyes was full of praise for Beto after his only fit striker bagged a brace in the 4-0 romp against Leicester City.
The Blues boss remarked: “I am really pleased for Beto. The people who have been here much longer than me will know more about him. I am just getting to know him and he is a great kid, he works hard in training and he is trying to improve himself. “Sometimes in life you need an opportunity and he got one. His reception coming off the pitch was as good as we’ve heard here for a long time, so good credit to him that he stuck at it and he took his two goals well.”
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti all out injured, it seems Everton have got to take the rough with the smooth with Beto though – especially now the winter transfer window has slammed shut. The £25.8million frontman endured a difficult afternoon against Bournemouth and did not receive the kind of service he profited upon so emphatically against the Foxes.
