Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version or go back to LFC Live.net.

Despite plenty of chances against Everton, Brighton again failed to show their ruthless streak, including a missed penalty, and ended up losing 2-0 in the first ever Premier League match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Illiman Ndiaye and James Garner gave Everton a famous win, with a goal in either half.



De Cuyper struggled against Everton.

Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke form a commanding partnership, and need more protection from their midfield.

Maxim De Cuyper (Ferdi Kadioglu 67?) – 4

Yellow carded for a foul on Illiman Ndiaye and the Everton forward gave the Belgian a torrid time.

Substituted with twenty minutes remaining amid his tough afternoon.

Carlos Baleba (Off for Jack Hinshelwood 46?) – 6

Taken off at half-time after a promising first period for Brighton, and the Seagulls suffered in the second half without his prescience.

Yasin Ayari (Off for Diego Gomez, 67?) – 5

Ayari looked a threat when Brighton had control in parts of the first half, but another player who faded out of the game in the second half.

Kaoru Mitoma – 5

A terrific effort from the winger when he showed incredible control before firing a strike off the crossbar.

Otherwise was ineffective and showed nothing in the second half.

Matt O’Riley – 6

Thwarted by Jordan Pickford, in one of Brighton’s biggest chances of the first half after a shocking back pass from James Tarkowski.

Made no impact from the bench.

Diego Gomez (On for Yasin Ayari 67?) – 5

Another sub who did nothing to change the pattern of the game as Everton cruised to the three points.

Brajan Gruda (On for Mats Wieffer 86?) – 6

No time to change the game.
