Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion offered a tough duel this Saturday, August 17, during the first day of the Premier League. While they want to avoid the scenario of the last two seasons, where they secured survival in the last days, the Toffees are already finding difficulties since they lost heavily at Goodison Park (0-3), at the end of a match generally controlled by the Seagulls.
In their iconic stadium, which they will leave at the end of the season, Everton tried to play the game. But the Yankuba Minteh – Kaoru Mitoma duo had decided to hurt with each acceleration. Served by the Gambian winger, the little Japanese opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Then at the start of the second half, the visitors took advantage of a terrible loss of the ball by Idrissa Gueye to double the lead from Danny Welbeck (56th minute).
With his team in great difficulty, coach Sean Dyche decided to do some coaching, with the entry into play of Iliman Ndiaye in place of Abdoulaye Doucouré (63rd). But the 24-year-old Senegalese striker will not get much out of his debut in the Everton jersey. He touched few balls touched. Brighton, in numerical superiority, monopolized, before adding a third goal from Simon Dingra (86th).
