Grealish and Pickford combine while the Hill Dickinson era begins with a victory
Jack Grenish and Jordan Pickford were the heroes while Everton celebrated the opening of their New Hill Dickinson Stadium with a victory over Brighton this afternoon.
Grelise, who joined the Toffees loaned to Manchester City 12 days ago, created the two goals during her home start while Pickford made a series of important stops, including a penalty stop by Danny Welbeck late, to see Everton Home.
Iliman Ndiaye obtained the distinction of becoming the first scorer at the new stadium – he also won Everton’s latest goal at Goodison Park – with James Garner adding a second while Brighton reduced the inability to convert their many chances.
Brighton boss’s opening stages
The victory was very necessary for the local team, which started its campaign with a 1-0 gearful defeat in Leeds on Monday evening.
They made a chance in the first half with Brighton, dangerous every time they manifest themselves.
Kaoru Mitoma had his first serious chance after 17 minutes, hanging on a long ball that caused James Tarkowski’s uncertainty.
The Japanese international intelligently raised the bouncing ball on Tarkowski’s head, then pulled in a volley that cut the pickford bar on the way.
Fortune’s left back Garner had trouble containing Yankuba Minteh and the Gambian again escaped his claws a minute later, but his low cross was behind Welbeck and the former man in England could not pick up his six -meter shot.
Ndiaye makes the story for Everton
Everton had trouble getting out, but when they did it, it resulted in the first goal.
Ndiaye started and finished the move with an excellent game in the midfield, then broke out to enter the box to the volleyball house at Grealish’s house.
Brighton continued to push but their luck remained. Jan Paul Van Hecke crushed a deflected shot against the post while Pickford had to unearthed Tarkowski after a glow passed at Matt O’riley. O’riley pushed the Round Pickford balloon, but the English international was superbly done to get up and keep the shot.
Everton doubled its advantage four minutes from the second half, Grealland resting the ball so that Garner passes a journey in front of Bart Verbruggen at 20 meters.
Mintteh continued to cause problems and it was his shot that led to the penalty with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall tried to have manipulated.
Welbeck intensified but never looks convincing and his weak left shot of Pickford was easily suffocated.
The replacement Beto should have done three for Everton, but the noisy celebrations at the final whistle were not long to come.
