On May 11, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Everton defeated Fulham 3-1 away, and Everton coach Moyes was interviewed after the game and other topics.

Moyes: In the first 20 to 25 minutes of the game, the situation on the court didn't look like this, I think we did a bad job in possession, but we stuck with it, the team was resilient, and the players performed well in the end. Michael Keane performed well, he was a veritable central defender, his header was a great goal.

About Beto's growth:

Moyes: He is performing well and is constantly improving. If he was a 19-year-old striker, you would say he still has some way to go, but he is not, but he is constantly improving and hopefully he can continue to score goals for the rest of the game.

I am satisfied with the team's performance on the road. The team lacks key players. I was worried about the development trend of this game before, but the performance of the players is commendable. We persisted for a while in the game and the performance in the second half did improve.

Regarding the decision of the referee on duty Darren England to insist on not awarding Fulham's penalty after watching the VAR replay:

Moyes: I want to applaud him, I even want to start the Mexican wave, I saw that picture on the iPad, and saw the player running, I don't know where his hand can be placed. We have such a referee who is willing to watch VAR playback and stick to his own decisions, which is really great. We hope that the referees can make decisions based on their own judgment, and from what I have seen, this is indeed a correct decision.

Regarding the last game played at Goodison Park next week:

Moyes: I just told the players that next week we will have the most important game of the season and we are all ready.
