View: 3 decisions Farai Hallam got wrong as Everton draw vs Brentford

Everton were surely hard done by on a few occasions as Farai Hallam took charge against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.

The English referee had a few moments to forget as the Toffees got a 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium on 11 April.

Igor Thiago opened the scoring from the spot early on after a stonewall penalty for the Bees, which the officials got right, but Beto equalised before the break to ease tensions among the away supporters.

The Brazilian striker scored his second in the 76th minute, which came as a bitter blow for the visitors, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored in the dying minutes.

David Moyes is aiming for European qualification in the current campaign and dropping points against a direct rival in the Premier League table will surely be frustrating.

Farai Hallam hurts reputation in Brentford vs Everton

Hallam’s decisions may leave a slight blemish on his reputation among the Toffees’ supporters.

The most questionable decision the referee made was certainly booking James Garner in the 47th minute after the midfielder’s strong tackle on Dango Ouattara.

While the England international’s challenge was tough, he clearly got a huge chunk of the ball, and there’s an argument that it wasn’t even a foul.

Hallam also decided to be lenient in the opening 45 minutes, which led to a few moments when actions against the Blues players that would usually have been called back were allowed.

Mathias Jensen also clearly handles the ball as Jordan Pickford launched it for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 73rd minute and the Merseyside outfit’s supporters have every right to rage that not much was made of it by the referee.

David Moyes makes glaring error at Gtech Community Stadium

Beto has been sensational for Everton in recent matches, scoring his seventh league goal against Brentford.

The Guinea-Bissau striker seemed like a constant threat for the Toffees in West London, but Moyes decided to replace him with Thierno Barry in the 74th minute.

Just a few minutes later, the Merseyside outfit conceded, leaving them chasing the game again after fighting hard to keep the scores level.

Barry has lacked confidence after losing his starting spot and had the Scottish manager waited just a few minutes longer, he may have decided against substituting Beto when he did.
