HERE WE GO! Everton’s historic housewarming at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is underway. The roar of the home fans echoes around their new fortress as the Toffees kick off a new era, eager to mark the occasion with a performance worthy of the occasion.
Ayari links up neatly with Welbeck on the edge of the box, exchanging a sharp one-two that gives him space to shoot from 20 yards. He strikes it cleanly, but Pickford has it covered all the way and makes a comfortable save.
Brighton almost break the deadlock as Minteh bursts past Garner and drills a teasing ball across the face of goal. It falls to Welbeck inside the six-yard box, but the striker can’t adjust his feet quickly enough and slices the effort over when he should have scored.
The new stadium’s first goal is a beauty. A slick switch from right to left sees Dewsbury-Hall find Grealish, who drives at Wieffer before sliding a low ball across for Ndiaye to finish from close range. A sharp reminder of the fluency and danger Everton’s front four can produce.
Brighton continue to probe with neat passing, O’Riley popping up in space but dragging a weak effort wide. Moments later, De Cuyper goes in too aggressively on the lively Ndiaye and earns the game’s first yellow card.
Brighton come agonizingly close as Van Hecke unleashes a swerving 30-yard strike that takes a slight deflection off Grealish. Pickford is beaten, but the ball rattles off the post, denying Brighton a spectacular goal.
Fabian Hurzeler must be feeling the frustration as favourites Brighton haven’t translated into a goal. Plenty of neat football, but ultimately it’s finishing that counts, and they’re still trailing.
Brighton make a surprising half-time switch as Baleba is replaced by Hinshelwood. While it sparks questions about a possible injury, Baleba is seen sitting on the bench among the substitutes.
Everton double their lead in style as Grealish attracts defenders before laying it off to Garner. From 25 yards out, he unleashes a thunderous low strike that slips through Minteh’s legs and past Verbruggen, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Substitutions for Everton as Barry and Ndiaye make way, with Beto and Alcaraz coming on to freshen up the midfield and attack.
PENALTY TO BRIGHTON!! Minteh fires at goal, and Dewsbury-Hall blocks it with his hand, seemingly unaware. VAR reviews the incident and upholds the referee’s decision.
WELBECK DENIED BY PICKFORD! Everton continue to shine as Pickford reads the penalty perfectly, keeping Brighton at bay with a strong save.
In a quirky moment, Jordan Pickford checked his water bottle for penalty guidance as O’Riley handed the ball to Welbeck. With instructions showing “50 per cent left, 50 per cent right” and “GK left,” Pickford trusted the note and dived correctly to make the save.
SUB! Grealish leaves the field to a heroes’ reception, having contributed two assists and an outstanding all-round performance. YELLOW! Moments later, Beto goes in late on Dunk and is shown a booking.
Extra three minutes have been added.
