Everton Reaction: Moyes content with fair draw

Last updated : 05 February 2012 By Paul Farrington

The Toffees boss also expressed his dissatisfaction with the state of the pitch at the DW Stadium, a situation that will surely not be helped by the Wigan Warriors home game taking place today (Sunday).

Speaking about the game, Moyes said: “I didn’t think we deserved to go a goal down as we looked comfortable. When they scored a bizarre goal, it was a complete fluke. But the boys did brilliantly to get back into it, especially after their efforts in midweek against Manchester City.

“I’m disappointed with not winning but the pitch wasn’t good today. For what the modern player normally plays on, they’re not used to that kind of surface. But it was the same for both teams.

“When you lose a goal after it hits a big divot and bounces the other way, you just don’t see that any more. Because of that we felt it was a bit of injustice so I was pleased we scored.”

The draw against Everton sees the Latics remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the league and five points adrift of safety. Next week's trip to Bolton Wanderer's is a vital game for the immediate future of the Latics.
