On a day of potential destiny in the fight for Premier League survival, Everton enjoyed an emphatic 5-1 romp at Brighton & Hove Albion to move out of the relegation zone and boost hopes that they can avoid what would be the club’s first relegation in 72 years.
After enjoying a new manager ‘bounce’ following Sean Dyche’s arrival, winning three of their first seven games, Everton had been victorious in just one of their previous 11 matches going into this contest but with Leicester City having been beaten 5-3 at Marco Silva’s Fulham earlier in the day and fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest and Southampton duking it out later on, the Blues did their job by producing their best display of a troubled season on and off the pitch by recording only their second away success of the campaign.
