Everton began a new era with a memorable 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion marking the first-ever competitive match at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Blues celebrated the opening of their new home – coincidentally exactly 133 years to the day since Goodison Park’s official opening – with goals in either half from Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner.
Full debutant Jack Grealish provided assists for both, first a delightful centre for Ndiaye to prod home the opener, before a perfectly-weighted lay-off for Garner soon after the half-time interval.
Jordan Pickford then denied Danny Welbeck from the penalty spot with a superb save to ensure the Toffees’ grand opening of their new waterfront stadium was a winning one – complete with a clean sheet.

Everton got the win courtesy and fortunate no damage done from 2 Tarkowski's error.
Garner's goal is a cracker and qualified to be nominated goal of the week !
Spirit is great as let's keep the momentum to come in the following games against Mansfield, Wolves, Villa before the derby game.
Two assist 👍
Why not record the celebration? I mean… the first home game in a brand new stadium? Just clip it ffs.
