Follow the latest updates live from the Premier League clash between Everton and Brighton and Hove Albion as Carlo Ancelotti’s side look to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.

Everton have been one of the form teams in the country so far, winning all six of their matches in all competitions and making it three from three last weekend, in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his goalscoring run before netting a hat-trick in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.

Ancelotti does have a number of injury concerns on his hands though, including summer signing Allan, and Brighton will fancy their chances of an upset after resting the bulk of their squad during the week. Follow the live updates below.

51 mins: Keane grapples Connolly as the ball comes up the pitch, the Brighton striker falls to the ground and the Seagulls win a free kick. 

The weather is truly dreadful out there now.

48 mins: March gets the ball into the box from the left but he over hits his cross and it goes out for a goal kick.

Second half: Brighton make a change as Tariq Lamptey is subbed off for Joel Veltman.

The pressure is mounting on Jordan Pickford as calls to drop the goalkeeper from England’s team mount up. 

His mistake in the first half won’t help either and he knows it. He punched the ground after Maupay scored for Brighton.

Half-time. Everton back in control going into the break after Neal Maupay cancelled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s opener. 

It’s been an exciting match so far. More of the same in the second half please.

Everton 2 - 1 Brighton - Mina

45+2 mins: GOAL! Everton win a free kick to the right of the box. Rodriguez flicks it into the six-yard box, Yerry Mina jumps in front of Webster and heads it into the back of the net.

45 mins: Brighton win a free kick about 30 yards out from goal after an Iwobi handball. Dunk takes the set piece and sends it into row Z. Probably not what he had in mind. 

Two minutes of added time to play.

Everton 1 - 1 Brighton - Maupay

41 mins: GOAL! Awful goalkeeping from Pickford. Lamptey crosses the ball from the right and Trossard knocks it back into the middle. It bounces up to Pickford who drops the ball, Maupay is on to it quickly and he taps it into the back of the net. Brighton are level.

36 mins: Chance for Brighton! Solly March gets the ball into the box from the left and Aaron Connolly gets a cheeky touch to the ball with the outside of his foot. The shot goes wide but Connolly was offside anyway.
