Match report: Brighton 1-5 Everton
Premier League: “The muckiest, grubbiest of away wins would have sufficed for Everton but this was not one of them,” writes Nick Ames from the Amex Stadium. “They took Brighton apart with as lethal a counterattacking display as any team will produce all season, scoring three times in the first half and not being remotely flattered.”
Sean Dyche speaks ...
“That was the thing,” he tells BT Sport, upon being asked how well his players executed his game plan tonight. “You work on it in training but it doesn’t always get delivered. They delivered it fantastically well tonight.”
On Dwight McNeil: “You know, I actually thought he lost his way a little bit in the second half. He’s been in really good form since I got to the club despite there being questions marks over him but he’s been terrific since I’ve been here.
“He’s back to enjoying what he does, carrying the ball … he’s good at that. He’s got quality and his calmness for his goal at the end was terrific. There was a lot of good performances tonight and it was a very good collective performance.”
