Reflecting on the challenges he faced in recent weeks, Beto said, "These last weeks were really difficult for me. Here I am this week; we didn't win, but I'm pleased to take a point.
Late Heroics from the Striker

An Emotional Moment
After the match, Beto expressed his emotions during a post-game interview with Sky Sports. "It means too much for me," he shared, visibly moved. "Because I work hard and even if I don't play, I still work hard. I put my head up every week and try to get better."
Gratitude for Supporters

As a player, you just want to pay it back," he said. His determination to be ready when called upon was clear: "I always put it in my mind to be ready as the day may come. And today it came."
With the pressure of the season weighing on him, Beto’s late goal not only secured a valuable point for Everton but also rejuvenated his spirits. "I will enjoy this one tonight. Tomorrow is a day off; I'm thinking about that," he concluded, looking forward to celebrating this significant moment with his teammates and supporters.
