Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton earned a 3-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park as Ashley Young was sent off for the hosts
The beginning of the end for Goodison Park heralded the start of a potentially beautiful relationship for Fabian Hürzeler and Brighton. The youngest permanent manager inhistory enjoyed a debut to savour as the Seagulls spoiled Everton’s final opening day at their home of 132 years with an emphatic victory.
The visitors were initially under pressure as Everton started in the same relentless fashion that yielded five successive home wins and clean sheets at the end of last season. Jack Harrison forced a good early save out of Jason Steele before beating the Brighton goalkeeper from the resulting corner. The on-loan Leeds winger was clearly offside when converting Michael Keane’s knockdown from close range, however.
Brighton counters were few and far between in the first half but Everton were vulnerable to the pace and movement of the visitors’ front line whenever they did strike. João Pedro, finding rare space outside the Everton penalty area, struck the base of the post from 22 yards with Jordan Pickford well beaten.
