Theo Walcott Discusses Beto’s Impact and Everton’s Relief

Former Everton winger Theo Walcott believes Sean Dyche will be “very relieved” that the Toffees extended their five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. This achievement came after Beto’s goal in the 94th minute led to a draw with Fulham. Appearing on Match of the Day, Walcott commented: “They will be very relieved. It was Beto as well, who is putting a lot of pressure on Dominic Calvert-Lewin right now. “It was fantastic that Everton yet again got the result.” Walcott further analyzed Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s display, stating: “I felt that Calvert-Lewin was a very isolated figure in this game. Calvin Bassey and Issa Diop, who were tremendous all game, bullied him. They really did. They put him in a position where he found it very difficult to make an impact on the game.” He also suggested Calvert-Lewin’s likely sentiment: “I think he would have been quite frustrated with his performance. He came off and Beto came on – and he wants to make a point and wants to be in the team, with Calvert-Lewin’s contract obviously running down as well.” Regarding Beto’s distinct approach, Walcott noted: “Beto was just a bit of a different player for Bassey and Diop to deal with.” He elaborated on Beto’s positive contribution: “He was putting himself in the right areas and causing Fulham’s backline a different problem. He picked up some good positions and there was some relief for him when he did get his goal. It was brilliant to see.”
