Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
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!

Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:43
Brighton apply the pressure from the resulting free-kick and after Everton initially clear, the ball falls to Mitoma unmarked in the box. The Seagulls winger fails to stay composed and skies his left-footed strike high and wide. The Japanese international really should have done better there, he will be disappointed.

16:39
Chance for Everton! Harrison works the ball well on the right-hand side and closes in on the Brighton penalty area. McNeil is screaming for the pass in a central area, and he gets his wish before shifting the ball onto his left. The Toffees wide-man unleashes a low strike from the edge of the box, but it goes whistling past the post! So close to their second!
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:37
Everton's counter-attacking strategy isn't working as well as in the first half. The Toffees win the ball back deep inside their own half and Harrison plays a long hopeful pass beyond the Brighton defence, but it's too far for Calvert-Lewin who was chasing it down.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:36
It's a chance for Joao Pedro as Brighton break the Everton press and Gross finds himself in space as he bursts towards the penalty area. He lays the ball to Joao Pedro inside the box, who swivels and shoots, but Tarkowski flings himself in front of it and makes the block. De Zerbi's side are beginning to exploit some gaps and are upping the tempo in the final third.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:32
Mitoma manages to get into a one-on-one situation with Young and darts past the Everton defender. He pulls the ball back towards the edge of the area where Gross is in space, but he gets his shot all wrong and it flies over the bar. It's a bit of a let-off for the Toffees, who can't allow Mitoma that much space out wide.

Brighton are beginning to turn the screw and the Toffees' defensive structure is being tested. De Zerbi's side have only managed the one shot on target in the second half, through Dunk's free-kick, but it's going to be a long end to the game if Dyche's men continue to allow the Seagulls to get the ball into advanced areas.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:27
Garner gives away a foul inside the Everton half after a rough challenge on Mitoma. Replays show that the midfielder wins the ball, but the referee has clearly felt that it was a little too aggressive for his liking. Brighton have a chance to fill the box from a free-kick, but it comes to nothing.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:26
The Toffees are defending well and Brighton are yet to find a breakthrough. Harrison's work rate to nullify the threat of Mitoma has been superb, as the Everton winger earns his side a free-kick and a few minutes of respite.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:22
Everton have struggled to show any attacking intent since the second half got under way. Dyche's side are yet to touch the ball inside the opposition box. The Toffees were bound to sit back and continue to absorb the pressure, but the supporters at Goodison Park are desperate for a second goal!
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:19
What a save! Dunk stands over the resulting free-kick and sends his shot towards the top corner. Pickford flies across his line and tips the ball over the bar. So close for Brighton, but the English goalkeeper was equal to it. Superb stop!
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:17
Doucoure is the latest player to go into the referee's book.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion

The Everton players aren't happy! Gilmour is played the ball between the lines and drives towards the penalty area. Tarkowski comes out of defence to make a tackle and appears to win the ball, but he also goes through the Brighton man and the referee awards a free-kick.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:15
Gueye and Dunk have both made fouls in the opening stages of the second half. Their respective managers might be having words or considering a change, with both players already on a yellow. It was an aggressive affair in the first half and it appears to be no different after the break.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
16:12
The Seagulls have made a bright start to the second half as Mitoma bursts down the left before winning a corner. The Joao Pedro substitution could allow Brighton to be a little more creative in the final third, whilst also adding plenty of pace to their attack.

The Seagulls are struggling to turn their 83.2 per cent possession into chances. Brighton have created just 0.18 expected goals (xG) in the first half, testing Pickford with only one shot on target. Dyche has set his side up to stay compact and try and hit the opposition in transition, and it's working well so far. Everton have managed double the amount of shots that De Zerbi's side have, but it's going to be a tough second 45 minutes as Brighton searches for an equaliser.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:55
Everton go into the break with a 1-0 lead over Brighton after opening the scoring early on. The Toffees found the back of the net through an unlikely scorer, with Mykolenko grabbing his first goal of the season, pouncing inside the box to force a save out of the keeper before slamming home the rebound. Shortly after, the Seagulls thought they’d equalised. Gross delivered a free-kick towards the far post and Dunk struck an unstoppable volley beyond Pickford. However, after a VAR check, the referee ruled the goal out for offside.

Gueye goes into the book after Everton had appealed for a penalty for a foul on McNeil. The referee wasn't happy with Gueye's reaction to the incident.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:45
Despite Brighton enjoying more of the possession, Everton are the side who are creating the better chances. The Toffees have registered six shots so far this game, with Brighton only managing three. Dyche will be desperate for his team to grab a second as the first half reaches the final few minutes.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:41
Everton earn themselves a breather as Mitoma fouls Harrison just inside the Everton half. It's a chance for the Toffees to fill the box and go direct. Pickford launches it towards Tarkowski, but it's a weak header from the defender and it goes behind for a goal-kick.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:40
Milner works the ball out wide to Mitoma and the Brighton winger once again looks to cause problems with his dribbling. However, Harrison is there to snuff out the danger. The Japanese international isn't having a lot of joy out wide as it stands, with Everton dealing with him well.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:38
It's a dangerous scoreline for Everton, with Brighton proving to be a threat in the final third. The Seagulls are struggling to create any clear-cut chances, but De Zerbi's side are working the ball well and causing the Toffees some problems.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:36
Dyche's side have managed just three touches inside the opposition box so far this game, but the Everton boss won't mind when he looks at the scoreboard. Two of those touches have come from Mykolenko, with his first shot saved by Verbruggen and his second flying into the back of the net.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:34
Everton look to break once again after Brighton enjoy another spell of possession. Calvert-Lewin leads the attack, driving through the centre of the pitch. He has Doucoure to his left, but chooses to go alone. The English striker shifts the ball onto his weaker foot, but he can only drag his shot wide of the post.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:31
Mitoma receives the ball out wide and looks to take on Young. The Japanese winger darts past the Everton full-back and looks to beat Pickford to it after the goalkeeper rushes out of his goal. Mitoma gets a toe to the ball, but the Toffees keeper is able to gather it.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:28

Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:22
The Toffees are looking to hit Brighton on the counter at every opportunity. Doucoure breaks through the midfield and feeds Harrison on the right-hand side. His cross is delivered into the box and Calvert-Lewin attacks it from deep, but he's adjudged to have fouled his opponent.

Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:13
The Seagulls have reacted well to going a goal behind and are looking dangerous in the final third. Brighton attack at pace and the ball falls to Adingra on the edge of the box, but he drags his shot wide. Everton need to tighten up and stay composed to keep hold of their lead.

There’s a change between the sticks, with Verbruggen coming in for Steele. Brighton have also switched it up in defence, with Igor and Webster dropping out for van Hecke and Veltman.

Brighton are going through a tricky spell in England’s top flight and have failed to win in their last four games (D2 L2). In their previous two away fixtures, the Seagulls have conceded eight goals, but they will be hoping to turn their form around today against an Everton side who have struggled this campaign for the most part. The distraction of playing in the Europa League has possibly hampered Roberto De Zerbi’s side's performances over the last few weeks, but it’s a good chance for them to put it right today.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:37
Everton are looking to continue their momentum after picking up three league wins in their last five games (L2). The Toffees defeated West Ham at the London Stadium last time out in the Premier League, before producing a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Burnley in the EFL Cup. Sean Dyche’s men are back at Goodison Park once again as they look to replicate a similar display against Brighton to the one we saw at the Amex Stadium last season, where the Toffees ran out 5-1 winners. Everton’s potential new owners, 777 Partners, have been spotted in the stands in recent weeks, and they’ll be hoping for another positive result today if they attend on Merseyside.
