Dyche laments 'horrible game' as Everton humbled
Image caption, Sean Dyche steered Everton to a 15th-placed finish in the Premier League last season despite being docked a total of eight points for breaching financial rulesA new season - but already it feels like the same old crisis unfolding for Everton.
Sean Dyche's side suffered a thoroughly miserable start to the 2024-25 campaign with a 3-0 humbling at home by Brighton.
The Toffees have struggled at the wrong end of the table for the last three seasons, narrowly escaping relegation on two of those occasions, and are bottom of the pile after their opener.
They made a bright start against the Seagulls and had an early goal disallowed, but were second best for large periods thereafter.
