Everton was fortunate at times, but goals from Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner saw David Moyes’s team get up and running after a disappointing showing against Leeds United in its opening Premier League game.

Ndiaye, who scored the final goals at Goodison Park last season, fittingly opened Everton’s account at its new ground when he turned Grealish’s drilled cross in midway through the first half.

Brighton hit the woodwork twice in the first half and also saw Danny Welbeck and Matt O'Riley spurn great chances, but the Seagulls were 2-0 down when Garner fired home in the 52nd minute.

Pickford then stopped a 77th-minute spot-kick from Welbeck to cap a glorious day for the Toffees.
