Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Everton made a perfect start to life at their new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in their opening Premier League clash of the season.<\/p>\n

Goals in either half from Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner secured the points, while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford added to the celebrations by saving a penalty late on.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish, making his first start for the Toffees, played a starring role with two assists. The former Manchester City man set up Ndiaye\u2019s opener midway through the first half, drilling in a low cross that the Senegalese forward tucked away.<\/p>\n

Brighton, who struck the woodwork twice before the interval, saw their hopes further dashed just seven minutes after the restart when Garner fired home Everton\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

The visitors had a chance to pull one back in the 77th minute, but Pickford denied Danny Welbeck from the spot to preserve the clean sheet.<\/p>\n

The win not only gave Everton their first points of the 2025\/26 season but also ensured a dream beginning at their new ground under David Moyes.<\/p>\n
