I’ll start at Goodison and the hilarious scenes that saw the Blues concede twice in stoppage time to lose to David Moyes. Then as their disgruntled fans were leaving the stadium they heard the news of Darwin’s winner at Forest. We often say “Imagine being us”, but another way of looking at it is... imagine being them!! Kinell.
They were awarded a first half penalty when Everton old boy Zouma handled in the box. It is a pen, no doubt about it, but I’ve seen more blatant ones not given this season so it’s always a little irritating when VAR gets involved in these. The Odegaard one at Anfield was way worse, but having said that Everton had not been given a single penalty all season prior to this, so I can’t begrudge them it. Especially as Beto missed anyway. He’d have been the last player on the pitch I’d have had taking it. Pickford should be their penalty taker.
The Blues always looked the more likely to score though and eventually they did when Garner whipped in a cross and Beto arched those giraffe like neck muscles to head into the corner. McNeil missed a great chance to double their lead but was denied by Areola, and that proved to be costly as Zouma produced a brilliant header into the top corner from a Ward-Prowse corner to tie things up. Always enjoy Everton conceding from a corner as that’s their thing. Like beating Rio Flair with a figure four leg lock. Hold on, did I just compare Everton to Ric Flair? Kinell, that’s worse than my Villa / West Ham take. I’ll rephrase it. It’s like doing the stink face on Rikishi.
The Blues had an effort cleared off the line (from a corner, of course) and then the game turned own its head in stoppage time. First, Soucek chested down a ball at the back of the box and although there didn’t look to be any immediate danger, he did remarkably well to adjust his body and then lash it into the far corner with the outside of his right foot. Brilliant goal.
Alvarez rubbed salt in the wounds when he finished off a late counter attack to give Moyes a sweet victory at his old stomping ground. It was daylight robbery to be honest, even I can say that Everton played well and deserved to win. They didn’t though and that’s no wins in ten for them now. The PL have given them more points than they’ve won themselves in that period. Maybe they should be thanking them instead of crying about it, the cheating fucks.
