But who shone and who struggled for the Albion?

Everton vs Brighton | Getty
. Maty Ryan 7-10
Good save low to his right to deny Richarlison in the first half but no chance with the goal. Strong save to keep out Calvert-Lewin on 64 minutes | Getty
. Montoya 6-10
Strange match for the Spaniard. Started at right wing back, then left back and then subbed off for Pascal Gross. | Getty
. Dunk 6-10
Looked uncomfortable on the left in early stages. Never seen Dunk on the left side of defence and doubt we ever will again. Better after the break in a central position. | Getty
. Duffy 6-10
Enjoyed a physical tussle with Calvert-Lewin. A good display on his return to former club. Booked | Getty
. Webster 6-10
Solid performance and moved to right back in the second half. Didn't put a foot wrng but didn't stand-out | Getty
. Jahanbakhsh 5-10
Didn't quite go for him today and was taken off on the hour for Alzate | Getty
. Stephen 5-10
Over hit passes in the first half and didn't get much better after the break. Not his best display. Replaced by Murray on 70. | Getty
. Propper 5-10
Central midfield with Stephen and was the more advanced. Has not played for a couple of weeks and was not at his best | Getty
21. Bernard 8-10
Enjoyed his display. Skilful in possession. Found gaps between Brighton's midfield and defence and caused problems. Great display and replaced by Delph with 20 remaining. | Getty
22. Calvert-Lewin 8-10
Impressive. Gave Duffy and Dunk a tough time. Denied twice by Ryan after the break. Enjoys a physical battle and has pace as well | Getty
23. Coleman 6-10
Came on for Walcott and sured up the defence | Getty
24. Delph 6-10
Delph added solidity to the Everton midfield and they looked to close the game out | Getty
