Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi refused to get carried away after his side hammered Everton at Goodison Park to pile more pressure on Frank Lampard.
After a bright start, Lampard’s side soon became second best, and it wasn’t long before the visitors broke the deadlock. Nathan Patterson misjudged Moises Caicedo’s pass to Kaoru Mitoma, with the Japan international cutting inside and firing past Jordan Pickford after just 14 minutes.
Everton, who were fortunate not to fall further behind when teenager Evan Ferguson struck the outside of the post, were booed off at half-time. But things went from bad to worse in the second-half as De Zerbi’s side scored three times in six minutes.
