It was a rarity when Brighton were without the ball, so it was surprising it took them until the 84th minute to equalise and even more so given they needed an Everton defender to score the goal.
It was a clash of styles at Goodison Park as Sean Dyche’s banks of four watched Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton enjoy 80% possession. Everton have come a long way under Dyche and will feel they should have held on, only to see Ashley Young divert Kaoru Mitoma’s cross over Jordan Pickford to cancel out Vitalii Mykolenko’s seventh-minute opener.
