Brighton 0-1 Everton: David Moyes leads team to second consecutive victory with Iliman Ndiaye penalty sparking resurgence

Under the guidance of their newly appointed manager David Moyes, Everton's excellence on the pitch continued to thrive. In an intense match against Brighton at the Amex Stadium, Iliman Ndiaye's penalty kick sparked much controversy, but ultimately secured Everton's 1-0 victory.

It is now five home Premier League games without a win for the Seagulls, who felt a sense of injustice when referee Tim Robinson awarded a penalty following VAR advice after Joel Veltman was adjudged to have handled inside the box.

Ndiaye dispatched the penalty (42) to make it back-to-back wins for Everton under Moyes - and first on the road since October - with their gap to the Premier League relegation zone now standing at seven points.

Following successive away league wins, Brighton are still in search of a home tonic this season and remain ninth in the table on 34 points.
