Everton secured their second point of the Premier League season against Brentford on Saturday afternoon in a match that, in other circumstances, could so easily have seen wins for either side.
The visitors took the lead in the first half and had a great chance to extend their advantage after the break when Amadou Onana's fantastic through-ball found Demarai Gray, but in the end they conceded the equaliser from a set piece which saw too many players switch off. Thomas Frank's side, on the other hand, had numerous chances to be back in the game before that.
One particular area of concern, especially in the first half, was the Blues being caught too easily on the counter attack. on one particular occasion, it was only strong work from Nathan Patterson which stopped three or four Brentford players being in on goal as they rapidly broke up the pitch from an Everton set piece.
