Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to Match of the Day: “We did OK. We gave up some chances – the game could have been 4-4 or 5-5 at one point.
“We are trying to win at the moment but we missed some big chances to make it 2-0. They did as well – but we had a chance to go 2-0 and we didn’t take it. Maybe, if we had got that after midweek it might have been a different game. Credit to Crystal Palace, they stuck in.”
On Beto: “He’s great with his work rate and what he tries to do. He’s limited in other aspects but you’re just beginning to see some goals. I’ll need him to score a few more between now and the end of the season.”
On the possibility of finishing in a European spot: “It’s amazing that we are actually talking about Everton possibly being in Europe with two games to go – and we’re not out of it yet.
“It’s getting tougher every game we’re not winning.”
Everton forward Beto speaking to Sky Sports: “It is a little bit disappointing to get one point – but the game was really difficult. They had really good system. They have good players and a good manager.
“It is always difficult to come here. We are still fighting. We need to keep going and try to win the next two games.”
On his goal: “I needed to be a little bit patient because I knew it was going to be a tough game. It was a tough first half and the defenders are strong and fast, so I needed to find a way and when I got my chance I was ready to take it.”
On the fight for Europe: “You can say it was a missed opportunity but we are still in it, so we just need to focus on the next game.”
