LIVERPOOL - Everton's new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium got off to a bright start as they "put on a show" with a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in front of a crowd of just under 53,000 on Aug 24.

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.

Said Grealish: "It was massive. First game at the new stadium and we wanted to put on a show for the supporters. Very happy to get the win. It's massive."

Brighton were left to rue a series of wasted chances, including a missed penalty by Danny Welbeck. 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.

But the green shoots of a brighter future were on show on a day that has been years in the making.
