Everton striker Beto has thanked fans for their support after his sickening head blow in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

The Toffees moved five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone after goals from Idrissa Gana Gueye and Dwight McNeil either side of half-time. But the triumph was marred when Beto clashed with Morgan Gibbs-White in stoppage-time. The striker was knocked unconscious and required treatment for several minutes before he was taken to hospital.
