Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Brentford 2-2 Everton. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 90+1', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Everton led Shots on target 4-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Everton also shaded Corners 2-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Brentford the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
