Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner struck for the Toffees either side of half-time as Jack Grealish claimed two assists on his first Everton start. Brighton were left to rue a series of wasted chances, including a missed penalty by Danny Welbeck, as the Seagulls remain without a win this season. Everton are a work in progress with David Moyes desperate to make more additions to his squad in the final week of the transfer window. Advertisement But the green shoots of a brighter future were on show on a day that has been years in the making. Only four clubs have won more English top-flight titles than Everton’s nine. However, they have not won a major trophy for the past 30 years and spent their final seasons at Goodison Park, the club’s home since 1892, battling relegation. Elsewhere, Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest.
