HIGHLIGHTS: BRIGHTON 3-2 EVERTON

Everton fell to a cruel stoppage-time defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion on a day when the 3-2 scoreline told only a fraction of the story from a chaotic encounter at the Amex Stadium.

The Blues led with 16 minutes to play after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's smart finish. But Brighton equalised from the spot through Neal Maupay and deep into stoppage time substitute Leandro Trossard escaped down the left to send in a cross which the luckless Lucas Digne steered into his own net.

Calvert-Lewin came on as a substitute with 18 minutes remaining and two minutes later sent the 2,000+ Evertonians in Sussex into tumult with a classy finish between Mat Ryan’s legs.

Everton were on top at this stage, exerting their authority after Adam Webster’s own goal, created by Richarlison’s powerful movement and header, had cancelled out a free-kick from Pascal Gross.

Michael Keane, though, was the victim of a VAR decision which ruled the defender had tugged forward Aaron Connolly as the pair jostled under a high ball. Neal Maupay smashed his penalty down the middle to even things up with 10 minutes to play before even more late drama.

I still don’t understand how the tackle on Richarlison wasn’t a pen... but Keane’s “foul” was. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[Περικλήςκόκκινος-ψκ]

Speaker:"Unbelievable.Conolly somehow managed to win a penalty"That says it all

[mattg]

Everton have 3 points stolen from them by the most inexplicable VAR decision to date.

Notice how literally no one appeals for a penalty, and the ref doesn’t even signal no penalty because there is nothing to even signal about.

Absolute joke.

I here in Dusseldorf without cabin VAR saw that Everton was stolen outrageously.

[olafweinzer]

I follow football around the world and I have heard that the use or not of the VAR for the same type of fact is causing much complaint in Argentina, Brazil, England and here in Germany. I think VAR should end.

Erm, you've got the scoreline the wrong way round lads, just a heads up 👍

[TheApexHound]

To be fair, We were robbed. But what happened after was disgraceful.

[erikanders]

This var thing is ruining football we should’ve had a pen

[EC.]

Just because digne scored doesn't mean it counts for Everton.

[kingrobbo]

Pickford should of saved the freekick it went straight in the middle and he's number one england goalkeeper

[knottme]

We didn't play badly at all and were shafted by poor referee\var decisions and these can't be blamed on Marco .
The brighton fans were quite humble outside the ground and said we deserved a draw, I personally think after going a goal in front we needed more of an attacking force from midfield as something just wasn't quite right with the balance of the midfield and why cenk still continues to be overlooked is baffling.
Keep the faith

[Jonesyy]

I dont understand how the var people thought that was a penalty. Go to the opticians and get a pair of glasses. Maybe then you'll be able to se that it wasnt a penalty like the rest of us.

Why did the score say 3-2 to brighton, when digne scored an outrageous goal last minute?

[flameyoutube]

Unlucky blue's we'll go again

[theirishrepublican]

As an Irish fan, I've lost a bit of respect for Aaron connolly after that dive

[SuperGoodison]

Everton against Huddersfield in the championship next season after this start to the season

[SouthCoastFinest]

Brighton have completely dominated everyone one of their home games with disappointing results this season. Play under par from this game and manage get a win from it. That's the madness of football.
