Everton<\/span> maintained their impressive perfect start to the new Premier League<\/span> season with a resounding 4-2 win against Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlo Ancelotti<\/span>‘s early pacesetters were at their ruthless best with marquee signing James Rodr\u00edguez pulling the strings. In-form striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin filled his boots with the visitors only profiting from another Jordan Pickford error.<\/p>\n

Yves Bissouma halved the deficit in stoppage time with a stunning effort deep but ultimately the Seagulls’ eight-game unbeaten run on the road came to an end.<\/p>\n

With the dust beginning to settle, here are five things we learned from this encounter\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Calvert-Lewin, History man
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s been nothing short of a spectacular beginning to 2020\/21 as far as Dominic Calvert-Lewin is concerned. He entered Saturday’s meeting with Brighton<\/span> having already scored eight goals (including two hat-tricks) across five matches in all competitions which earned him a well-deserved England call-up for their upcoming international matches.<\/p>\n

So, he’s riding the crest of a wave, and the Seagulls knew it when Mat Ryan was forced into action with only two minutes played to deny Everton<\/span>‘s no.9.<\/p>\n
