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.

  1. When we play spurs make it a back three of o brien tarks and myks

    Wingbacks

    Mcneil and Harrison

    Midfield of gueye tim and ndayie(in a ten)

    And front two of doucs and DCL

    When we defend go to a four four two and shift ndaiye into the left Mid position 442

    If you do that we can actually believe in the team

  2. How can the manager still be persisting with Keane? Year after year we were headed for relegation until we stopped playing him. It is incredible that this is still going on.

  3. Not a good start from Everton but a long way to go so don't panic.
    It would b a disaster if Everton got relegated in their last ever season at Goodison Park 🏞️.
    For the sake of Evertonians they will b hoping that they will b in the PL at their new ground on the banks of the Mersey at the start of the 2025/26 season..

  4. Everton never Will be the big four for season…
    You coba see Ancelloti.. Lampard Benitez..😂😂😂when them as managers usually failed..
    And now Ancelotti alot winning trophy with real Madrid

  5. Why haven't Manchester United considered bringing Daniel Welbeck back? He he much better than all those overpriced, overpaid, and overhyped clowns that they keep buying every season.
