Moyes Defiant After Booking for Pitch Celebration as Everton Snatch Late Draw

The caution spotlights strict technical‑area enforcement that has seen managers punished for celebratory pitch incursions.

Overview

  • Substitute Beto scored in the 97th minute on his 27th birthday to secure a 1-1 draw at Brighton's Amex Stadium.
  • David Moyes ran from his technical area onto the pitch and was shown a yellow card by referee Chris Kavanagh.
  • The Everton manager condemned the rules and vowed, "I bloody will do it again," comparing his reaction to David Pleat’s 1983 dash.
  • This season’s enforcement has produced notable sanctions, including Enzo Maresca’s one‑match touchline ban after a second yellow for leaving the technical area.
  • Media commentary criticized the decision as killjoy officiating, and there has been no indication in reports of further disciplinary action against Moyes.
