Everton extends unbeaten run to seven with 1-1 draw at Brentford

Everton extended their unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches with a 1-1 draw against Brentford, thanks to Jake O'Brien's late header. Yoane Wissa had given Brentford the lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a rebound after a header hit the crossbar. Despite several missed chances by Everton's striker Beto, who failed to convert three one-on-one opportunities, O'Brien equalized in the 77th minute with a diving header from a Vitaliy Mykolenko cross. The match highlighted Brentford's ongoing struggles at home, remaining winless since December 2024, while Everton is now 15 points clear of the relegation zone. Brentford sits in 11th place, five points off the top eight. Both teams had chances to secure all three points, but the draw reflected the competitive nature of the match.
