Against the already rescued Brentford, FC Everton could have made the relegation to a fix – and therefore started like the fire brigade. Gordon (4th) and Richarlison (6th) – on the opposite side of Toney (6th) – had good chances early on, Richarlison had the Toffees cheered in the third attempt: the Brazilian took off a free kick flank, Calvert -Lewin steered them in the last Instance in the goal (10th).
Everton was highly motivated and in the lead until Branthwaite Toney could only stop by emergency brake. Dealing in the 18th minute, the balance of power tilting. Even though decimated home side kept there, they conceded the bitter equalization before the break: Coleman missed Wissa’s cross in his own goal (37th).
Richarlison forces the second goal
But just when the guests were on it to turn the game – Toney appeared alone in front of Pickford (43.) – Richarlison struck a second time: the Brazilian was held brazen for a short time and converted the following penalty himself (45. +2).
Despite the renewed leadership: the Bees knew how to play their majority, were back on the trigger even after the change of sides – and suddenly in the lead. Wissa (62nd) and Henry (64.) each headed into the far corner placed and shocked the Goodison Park. That means fans, but also players.
Everton still against Crystal Palace and Arsenal
The home side caught at some point, Doucouré even had the 3: 3 upside down (78th), but in the end Brentford brought victory over time. Also because Joker Rondon saw red four minutes after his substitution for getting in with an open sole and Everton left too ninth (88.).
Despite the defeat, the Toffees remain two places and two points above the line. However, the possible relegation is postponed. Everton still meets Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
