Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “Absolutely we were [good value for a point]. Not many teams come here and win. We were one of the last a year ago.
"It looked like it was going to get away from us. I didn't think we deserved to be 1-0 down. I didn't think we'd conceded too many opportunities but they got a goal and it looked like we weren't going to get back into the game.
"But we deserved it, we kept at it and we got it in the end."
On going 1-0 down: “We probably made two or three mistakes, it seemed to elude two or three players and we have to tidy it up much quicker than we did – and they scored.
"We bounced back from it and pick up a point here, which is never easy."
On improved second half performance: “I thought we played better in the second half. For the first 20-25 minutes Brighton were the better team. They were much sharper, quicker to the ball than we were.
"I thought we improved as the half went on but I was glad to get in at half time with the result as it was."
On Beto's goal: “He’s a great lad to work with, he tries to make himself better every day. He’s probably been needing the confidence from the goal and I think the crowd’s celebration is because they know as well.
"I'm glad he got the goal. He started to score all the goals for me last year at about this time so let's hope he's about to go into his season again."
On his celebration: “I’d have gone a bit further if I had been allowed. We can’t enjoy it anymore as managers without getting booked for leaving our technical area. They’re putting a dampener on that as well.”
Did you know?
- Everton didn't attempt a single shot on goal in the first half, the third time they've not had a shot in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League game this season, more than any other team.
- James Garner made his 100th Premier League appearance in this match (98 for Everton, 2 for Manchester United) and finished the game with the most duels won of any player (10); only three midfielders have won more duels than him overall in the league this season (134).
