THE NOTEBOOK: Roberto De Zerbi rings in four changes at half-time, but cannot turn the tide against Everton, as vocal Toffees fans are rewarded with their fastest goal since April 2017

Everton took a huge step towards Premier League safety with a 5-1 win over Brighton on Monday evening.

The Toffees started off in a rampant style, with Abdoulaye Doucoure scoring twice before Jason Steele's own goal made it 3-0 at the break.

Dwight McNeil got two more in the second half at the AmEx, while Alexis Mac Allister's goal ten minutes before time was just a consolation for the Seagulls.

The win lifts Sean Dyche's side out of the relegation places, and dents Brighton's ambitions of a European place.
