Digne's own goal condemns Iwobi’s Everton to Brighton & Hove Albion defeat

Alex Iwobi was on parade for 72 minutes as Everton bowed to Brighton & Hove Albion in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Pascal Gross had given the Seagulls the lead from his 15th-minute free-kick, but Adam Webster’s own goal and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s strike put the Toffees on the path of victory after 74 minutes.

However, it was the hosts who had the last laugh with Neal Maupay first levelling the scores via a penalty kick – after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ruled Aaron Connolly was fouled by Michael Keane. Then Lucas Digne scored in his own net deep into added time.
