Beto’s 97th-Minute Strike Breaks Brighton Hearts and Saves Everton Again
The Amex Stadium was already preparing for a home celebration when the script flipped in the most dramatic way possible. Deep into stoppage time, with Everton running out of chances and Brighton seconds from three precious points, one loose ball changed everything and turned frustration into disbelief.
Brighton had done much of the hard work. They controlled long stretches of the match, moved the ball with confidence and created enough opportunities to put daylight between themselves and Everton. In the second half, that pressure finally told. A well-worked move opened space, the cross arrived and Pascal Gross finished with the calm assurance of a player who knows this ground inside out. For Brighton, it felt like the breakthrough that would steady a wobbling season.
Everton, for long periods, looked exactly like a side under siege. They struggled to create, absorbed pressure and leaned heavily on defensive discipline and the calm presence of Jordan Pickford. But this is a team shaped in the image of their manager. They stayed in the game. They refused to fold. And they waited for chaos.

That chaos arrived in the seventh minute of added time. A hopeful ball into the area was not cleared. A shot was parried, not pushed far enough away and suddenly Beto was there. No hesitation. No second thought. Just instinct and power. The net rippled, the away end exploded and David Moyes sprinted down the touchline like a man half his age.
For Brighton, it was another brutal lesson. This was not just two dropped points. It was a continuation of a worrying pattern. Late goals conceded. Control lost at the worst moment. And growing frustration among supporters who have watched promise fade into draws and narrow disappointments. The boos at full-time told their own story.
For Everton, the moment carried far more weight. This result extends a strong run of form and reinforces a belief that this team is harder to beat than many expect. They may not dominate matches, but they stay alive in them. And in a league where fine margins decide everything, that resilience matters.
This draw reshapes the table quietly but meaningfully. Everton continue to climb, Brighton continue to stall and questions grow louder about momentum, confidence and where each club is heading next.
Moments like this are why the Premier League never lets you look away. Because until the final whistle blows, the story is never finished.
