'Not again!' - Brighton player ratings vs Everton: Too many 6/10s as points go missing at the death

A fine finish from Pascal Gross was not enough to secure victory against Everton and ease tension after a testing week for the Seagulls.

Brighton were decent from the start and were cheered on by a lively home crowd. Good to see after a toxic week on social media.

Albion almost took the lead as Danny Welbeck's clever close range back heel forced a reaction save from Jordan Pickford. Welbeck was then just a whisker off target with a free header from Maxim De Cuyper's corner. Welbeck's reaction said he should have scored.

Kaoru Mitoma was next to narrowly miss after he linked well with Welbeck but his dinked effort fell just wide of the far post.

It then became all quite dour. Everton lacked ambition but blocked space, closed gaps and Fabian Hurzeler's team struggled to find a rhythm.

Everton’s best chance arrived on 67 minutes and Bart Verbruggen was at his best to deny Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall what looked like a certain goal.

Hurzeler has spoke about fine margins all season and for once it went their way. Soon after Dewsbury-Hall’s miss, the excellent Yasin Ayari burst into the box and his cross was cleverly left by substitute Charalampos Kostoulas and Gross swept home.

But as is the way with Brighton at the moment, they found a way to throw away the points. A late cross into the box was half cleared and substitute Beto smashed home. The pressure mounts on Hurzeler.

Here’s how they rated...
