Everton<\/a> manager David Moyes has criticised the laws of the game after he was booked for sprinting onto the pitch to celebrate Beto’s last-gasp equaliser against Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beto came off the bench to score a 97th-minute equaliser on his 27th birthday, earning the Toffees a 1-1 draw<\/a> at the Amex Stadium. <\/p>\n

Unable to contain his emotions after snatching the point, the 63-year-old Scot set off from his dugout and ran onto the pitch, before referee Chris Kavanagh issued him with a yellow card for leaving the technical area.<\/p>\n

Moyes drew comparisons with David Pleat’s celebrations at Maine Road after his Luton side avoided relegation from the top flight on the final day of the 1982-83 season with a win against Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I hope you’re not going to call me ‘Pleaty’ going forward,” Moyes said after the game.<\/p>\n

“The difference is Pleat doesn’t get booked for it, they think it’s OK and everybody enjoys seeing the celebrations. <\/p>\n

“We’re killing it. The managers can’t come out of their technical area to celebrate a goal, knee sliding, do things which give you people [the media] quite a bit to talk about.” <\/p>\n

Asked if he would do it again, Moyes replied: “I bloody will do it again! <\/p>\n

“Actually, if I’d been a bit more mobile, I might have done a knee slide. That would only have got me a yellow as well, so I might as well have gone the whole hog.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this season, former Chelsea<\/a> head coach Enzo Maresca was handed a one-match touchline ban<\/a> after being shown a second yellow card for leaving the technical area to celebrate with his players in their last-gasp win against Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace<\/a> manager Oliver Glasner joked that he was fearful of getting suspended for last season’s FA Cup final after cutting short his celebration in the 3-0 semi-final win over Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton manager David Moyes has criticised the laws of the game after he was booked for sprinting onto…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401505,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-401504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
