It should have been the day Everton put themselves on the verge of securing Premier League survival, instead they imploded. They finished with nine men after Jarrad Branthwaite, then Salomón Rondón, set the team’s downfall in motion.
Strikes from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison were not enough, as Brentford took advantage of Branthwaite’s first-half dismissal thanks to a Séamus Coleman own goal and headers from Yoane Wissa and Rico Henry, who was the victim of Rondón’s ludicrous late lunge.
