Brighton stunned Everton 1-0 on Saturday thanks to Jurgen Locadia's winner.

The Toffees had responded from a spanking by Tottenham by handing out a drubbing themselves at Burnley but Marco Silva's side could not build on that result as they suffered a seventh defeat of the season.

Seagulls boss Chris Hughton said, “We were able to take our performance against Arsenal into our game today. We started the game really well and that helped our confidence.

“We were holding on a little bit at the end — they went to a 4-2-4 with real quality up front and we had to defend well — but I thought we were really good value for the win

“That was a major thing [starting on the front foot]. We wanted to start well in the last couple of games but sometimes a little bit of fear against the bigger teams can set in.

“Generally we start well at home and we certainly did today. That lifted the crowd and the team's confidence. We had good enough passages in the game to warrant the win."
