EPL: Everton win to end Brighton’s perfect start

Brighton’s perfect start to the Premier League season was ended as Everton recorded a fine 2-0 win at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Demarai Gray’s own resurgence continued on the south coast as his precise finish broke the deadlock four minutes before the interval following a solo run.

Rafael Benitez has now collected seven points from his opening three games as Everton manager, and his side doubled their lead from the penalty spot through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, albeit only after wrestling the ball off his team-mate Richarlison.
