A late Ashley Young own goal rescued a point for Brighton & Hove Albion in their 1-1 Premier League draw with Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday after a rare Vitaliy Mykolenko strike had put the home side ahead.

 

Kaoru Mitoma’s cross deflected off experienced right-back Young and looped over Jordan Pickford in the home goal on 84 minutes after Mykolenko had drilled in a close-range shot at the second attempt early in the game.

 

Brighton are sixth in the table with 18 points from 11 games, but are without a win in five Premier League fixtures, while Everton stay in 15th with 11 points from the same number of matches.

 

Brighton had 80% of possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances for much of it, though Lewis Dunk had a magnificent volleyed equaliser ruled out for offside in the first half.

Brighton snatched a late draw at Goodison Park as Everton failed to hold on. Mykolenko opened the scoring for the Toffees with his first goal of the season, pouncing in the box to put his side ahead. Dyche’s side sat deep and invited the pressure for the rest of the game, but the Seagulls eventually found a way through, as Young turned a Mitoma cross into his own goal. A heartbreaking moment for the Merseyside club who fought until the very end. Everton are in action next Saturday away to Crystal Palace as they hope to continue their impressive form. De Zerbi’s side will be looking to end their winless run of five games when they host strugglers Sheffield United next time out in the Premier League. That’s all for today, goodbye!

Dyche’s side appear to be unsure whether to push for the winner or avoid conceding once again. A draw wouldn’t be the worst result for Everton, but they were in the lead for the majority of the game. We’re into the final few moments now.

Everton are pushing to get back in front! Mykolenko and Harrison both test the Brighton defences with crosses into the box, but the Seagulls deal with the danger well. Shortly after, Doucoure bursts into the box and wins his side a corner. Dyche’s side are showing some attacking intent after the equaliser.

Everton are starting to show signs of fatigue as Brighton continue to push for an equaliser. Dyche is yet to make a change today, but his side could certainly do with some fresh legs.
