EVERTON 0-3 BRIGHTON | Premier League highlights

Ten-man Everton began the 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park after a number of key moments went against the Blues at both ends of the field.

An offside flag denied Jack Harrison an opening goal inside the first five minutes before Kaoru Mitoma broke the deadlock on 25 minutes, applying a simple finish to Yankuba Minteh's inviting low cross from the right side of the penalty area.

The Blues continued to look dangerous, though, and thought they had a penalty within two minutes of the half-time restart when Dominic Calvert-Lewin – on his 200th career appearance – was felled by Lewis Dunk, only for referee Simon Hooper to be sent to a pitchside monitor and reverse his decision.

Everton's frustrations were compounded minutes later when the visitors seized on a loose pass and Danny Welbeck doubled the deficit with a low finish.

The Toffees were then forced to play the final 25 minutes with a one-man disadvantage after Ashley Young was dismissed for a professional foul, before substitute Simon Adingra added a third in the dying minutes.

Not sure whos more of a clown 🤡. Me for placing a everton cs bet on stake when Brainwaithe is injured. Or Saunch dyche for believing a washed 39 year old can defend against one of the most attacking teams in premier league.

[vinzw]

1st game of the season and already demonstrated a willingness to relegate.

[jrobs]

Ashley Young still plays Premier League Football. Anything in life is possible.

A Liverpool fan here. The defending for that Welbeck goal is criminal. All those defenders should be fined a huge amount this week.

[mrakronyahoo]

Ashley Young is a huge liability. We need a new RB desperately.

[jontalbot]

Ipswich fan here. All l can say is l feel for you. Very depressing to lose your first home game so comprehensively. We lost yesterday but it felt like a victory. Seven of the players were in League One two years ago but they put up a fight and we will get stronger as the old players adapt and new players blend in

Mitoma's finishing ability is similar to Ronaldo 😄

[Georges_Fromages]

For god sake, it's the last few matches at goodison park, play good

[JayEFC]

Losing 2-0 and we bring on Holgate for Harrison whilst Lindstrom was unused. Can someone explain that for me?

[Evertonfan-letr]

Not watching another season of us battling relegation no f**king way

[CarmelBarla]

looks like bara bet called the ashley young miracle and the 1st game mess! 🔮💀

[Conrad]

Fucking disgraceful, waking up at 3am in Aus for this, never get that 90 mins back, don't think I'm gonna watch another game

[txbill]

Everton sure do love to hang out at the bottom end of the table. Criminal that we didn't address our lack of depth at the wingback positions. Got plenty of midfielders though.

[Smilly_-Boy_-]

crazy how no one's talking about the bara bet free picks

[equalrightandjusticeforall]

Yankuba minteh of Gambia 🇬🇲 is a man to watch this Season 👁‍🗨

[rrbh]

Classic editing ! Didn't show the mass exodus and empty ground after the 3rd goal !

[amediumhorse]

Danny Welbeck winding back the years while Ashley Young looks 45.

[tommills]

Get the new signings starting next game and get Dixon in aswell UTT

[ToniSerban-btmk]

That's one old Young man. Such kindness for Everton to give elders another chance. I Guess they wont mind a relegation.

[duncanmoors]

Im suprised that after the game dyche didnt say we dont have a natural replacement for ashley young
