Hupu News October 19th: In the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0 at home. After the game, Everton coach Moyes accepted an interview with the BBC.

"Overall, I am satisfied with many of the team's performances, but not satisfied with the result. We played well today, especially before conceding the first goal. We also created several opportunities in the first half. I hope the team can challenge top teams like Manchester City and Arsenal as much as possible. We did do this today, but in the end it was still a little short."

Talking about forward Beto's missed goal When asked about the opportunity, Moyes said:

"He had a ball that he should have grabbed, but he couldn't catch up. The other opportunity that was called for offside, I actually think is valid - if the ball had been scored, maybe VAR would have changed the decision to a good goal. We were a little bit close with the first chance and almost scored."

When talking about the difficulty of facing Haaland, Moyes pointed out:

"They have a very good goal. A center forward who always knows how to score goals. One time we transitioned from offense to defense and they took a chance. O'Reilly's pass was brilliant, allowing Haaland to score. If you give a player of this caliber a chance, they will take it. The second goal was a bit messy - Haaland's shot went between Tarkovsky's legs. From our perspective, it wasn't a pretty miss. But after falling behind 2-0, I was still very satisfied with the team's defense, because the opponent created more opportunities after that, but none of them scored. "

Moyes finally added:

"Don't forget Everton's situation in the past few years. Today we were able to challenge one of the best teams in the world here, and we performed well for a long time and really caused problems for them. Next we will move on. "
