Broja reaction shared as Everton player shocked by incident at Craven Cottage
Everton got back to winning ways with a solid 3-1 victory against Fulham on Saturday.
Although Fulham took the lead early in the first half, a goal from Vitaliy Mykolenko put the two sides level going into the half-time break.
Michael Keane and Beto then put the game to bed in the second half, to give David Moyes’ side all three points.
Armando Broja failed to make an appearance from the bench, but he still caught the eye after his reaction to an event during the game.
Nathan Patterson caught in half-time moment
Everton have improved significantly under the management of David Moyes since his return to Goodison Park.
Players who looked finished under the previous boss Sean Dyche have seemingly found a new lease of life under the Scotsman.
However, one man who has struggled to find any sort of form this season is Nathan Patterson.
Since returning to fitness, the defender has made just three appearances, and after a shocker against Chelsea last time out, Moyes dropped Patterson for the Fulham clash.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 10 | 0 | 1 |
The closest the 23-year-old got to playing on Saturday (10 May) was when he was warming up with the substitutes at half-time.
During the warm-up, Patterson was caught out when a sprinkler unexpectedly emerged right beside him, leaving him drenched in water.
According to the Liverpool Echo in their unseen moments article (11 May), the sprinkler coming on came as a “shock” to Patterson, but Broja was left howling with laughter over the event.
Patterson represents job facing Moyes
It is likely to be a big summer for Moyes as The Friedkin Group look to drive the real start of a new era for the Toffees.
Patterson is someone who has shown potential in the past, but injuries have not helped his development and this season, he has not shown enough to be convincing.
The right-back is under contract for another season at Merseyside, so he may stay put for now, but it is clear that he will not be a key part of the squad going forward.
The boss will be keen to continue the progress he has made with the Blues so far, looking to push further up the table next season.
With that in mind, Everton will need to offload plenty of players like Patterson who are seemingly not at the standard that the boss is looking for.
