Match Highlights
Brighton started the match brightly and took control of possession. They created several chances but were unable to find the breakthrough in the first half. However, they continued to press after the break and were rewarded when Mitoma fired them ahead in the 55th minute.
Welbeck doubled Brighton's lead just seven minutes later, finishing off a fine team move. The Seagulls were now in complete control and added a third goal in the 80th minute, with Mitoma again on target.
Everton's Struggles
Everton, who had won their first four home Premier League games against Brighton, were unable to match the visitors' intensity and quality. They created very few chances and were poor in defence.
Hurzeler's Impact
The win was a perfect start for Hurzeler, who took over as Brighton manager in the summer. The German coach has quickly implemented his attacking style of play and has the Seagulls playing with confidence.
Conclusion
Brighton's victory over Everton was a deserved one. They were the better team on the day and took their chances ruthlessly. Everton, on the other hand, were poor and will need to improve quickly if they are to avoid another relegation battle this season.
