Everton’s quest for a Premier League victory in 2024 remains unfulfilled as Brighton and Hove Albion came from behind to secure a draw on their home turf.
Jarrad Branthwaite put the Toffees ahead in the 75th minute, offering hope for their first win of the year. However, Lewis Dunk’s last-minute equalizer dashed those hopes, leaving Everton with just one point after the match.
Brighton dominated the game, controlling 64% of possession and registering an expected goal of 1.25, compared to Everton’s 0.28, according to FotMob.
Despite this, Everton’s game plan seemed to be working until Dunk’s late goal, leading manager Sean Dyche to express frustration over the additional time awarded.
After the match, Dyche expressed his dissatisfaction with the added time, while also lamenting a late missed chance that could have sealed the game for Everton.
If Everton hopes to avoid relegation, they need to capitalize on scoring opportunities, or risk being pulled into a tense battle to stay in the Premier League.
