Jake O’Brien Equaliser Rescues Draw For Everton At Brentford After Yoane Wissa Opener

Watch Brentford Vs Everton highlights as the Toffees snatched a point in West London after trailing at half time in Wednesday night’s Premier League clash.

Yoane Wissa had given the hosts a 1-0 lead the the break, before Irish fullback O’Brien restored parity 13 minutes from time.

David Moyes’ men then held on to take a point back to Merseyside and extend their unbeaten run to seven Premier League games.

Brentford started quickly, with Bryan Mbeumo heading a long throw onto the bar, before Wissa nodded in the rebound to give his side the lead.

The visitors had gone close twice through Beto, but the Guinea-Bissau international could not convert.

He first wasted a one-on-one opportunity against Flekken in goal, before forcing a save minutes later.

After the Break, Flekken was again on hand to stop Jack Harrison’s corner going directly in, before Carlos Alcaraz narrowly missed from the edge of the area.

Wissa saw a second goal of the evening ruled out by the linesman’s flag, with Everton eventually grabbing an equaliser.

O’Brien got on the end of a low cross from Vitalii Mykolenko to finally beat Flekken in the closing stages.

While a fairly even contest, the Brentford keeper deserves some plaudits for his work in denying Everton for as long as he did.
