Brighton stunned Everton as they earned their third straight away victory by scoring three goals in just six minutes of the second half to secure a 4-1 victory.

Everton came close through Iwobi and Davies to grabbing a goal for Everton, but in a couple of minutes, they were outmatched.

Gueye made a mistake in handing the ball to Gross, who mistakenly raced into the Everton half before dazzling Pickford for the fourth goal.

Frank Lampard’s men, who were second-best throughout, received a late consolation goal from Gray, who smashed in a penalty after Sanchez fouled Alex Iwobi.

Shortly after the game, the Nigerian International has this to say;

I don’t think confidence is the issue. We showed how we can play vs Man City. We can’t be one minute good one minute bad. We’ve got to be consistent. The way we discussed in the changing room now we all want to fix it. I’m confident we can get ourselves out of this.”
