It was 1-1 at Goodison\u00a0Park on the 4 November 2023, with Vitaliy Mykolenko (7m) scoring for the Toffees and defender Ashley Young (84m, own goal) replying for the Seagulls. \u00a0The return game at the Amex on the 24 February 2024 also ended 1-1, with Jarrad Branthwaite (73m) netting for Everton and Lewis Dunk (90+5m) claiming a late late equaliser for the Seagulls. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening-day this season on the 17 August 2024\u00a0had seen the Albion win 3-0 at Goodison, with the goals coming from Kaoru Mitoma (25m), Danny Welbeck (56m) and Simon Adingra (86m). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton set out their stall from the start - a low defensive block, with central defenders James\u00a0 Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite at the hub. \u00a0Early on Albion's Tariq Lamptey and then Joel Veltman were denied by the Everton wall. \u00a0On 12 minutes Everton were unfortunate to lose the services of\u00a0 Dominic Calvert-Lewin after landing awkwardly, Beto substituting. \u00a0The Seagulls defence was also\u00a0looking solid with Jan Paul Van Hecke looking prominent as he headed away a dangerous cross from Vitaliy Mykolenko. \u00a0At the other end Tarkowski made a fine block to deny Joao Pedro and then Everton keeper Jordan Pickford made a timely intervention in punching away Yasin Ayari's free-kick. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things\u00a0changed on 42 minutes when Veltman was adjudged to have handled in the area. \u00a0At first Referee Tim Robinson did not award the penalty but VAR advised him to consult the pitchside monitor whereupon the penalty was awarded \u00a0and up-stepped Iliman Ndiaye to convert the penalty. <strong>\u00a00-1<\/strong>. \u00a0A dour first-half in which the Albion failed to get going. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Half-time 0-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an effort to improve matters Albion brought on Georginio Rutter for Brajan Gruda at the start of the second-half. \u00a0Kaoru Mitoma cut in from the left before sending in a low shot which narrowly missed\u00a0the target. \u00a0Branthwaite then made two excellent interventions, blocking Carlos Baleba's long-range\u00a0shot and heading away Mitoma's dangerous cross. \u00a0In an isolated raid Beto fired his shot wide when well-placed. \u00a0Albion continued to strive for an equaliser and in the final minutes Danny Welbeck and\u00a0Rutter went close to equalising. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final-score 0-1\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Match stats: \u00a0<\/strong><br>Albion had 16 attempts at goal, with 1 on target and won 9 corners, free-kicks conceded -8. \u00a0<br>Everton had 3 attempts at goal, with 1 on target and won 1 corner, free-kicks conceded - 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TO \u00a0SUM \u00a0UP \u00a0- \u00a0A dour game and an uninspiring performance by the Seagulls. \u00a0The omission of Yankuba Minteh from the starting line-up raised a few eyebrows and it transpired it was a disciplinary issue. \u00a0Albion's mini-revival was halted by a determined Everton outfit responding to the guidance of new\u00a0 Head Coach David Moyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albion line-up (4-2-3-1):- \u00a0Bart VERBRUGGEN;
