Comments:

League position: 14th Brighton and Hove Albion failed in their attempt to equal their club record of three consecutive home wins in the top division which had stood since September 1982. The Seagulls had now scored five of their six goals in the Premier League at the AMEX Stadium. They had now won two of their last 11 league games (lost six). Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton said: "I'm incredibly disappointed. At this moment, because of the timing of the goals, it feels more like a defeat rather than a draw. We were up against a very good Everton side, they were good with the ball and had lots of quality but at that stage, I couldn't see them scoring. We had to defend well, through periods in both halves but particularly in the second-half. But as the game opened up, I thought we were the side that would capitalise and we did."

Comments:

League position: 16th Everton were now without a win in their last 12 away games in the Premier League; their worst such run sinced March 2002. The Toffees had now scored seven goals in their last 13 games in the Premier League. They had now lost only one of their last 20 Premier League games against newly-promoted teams (won ten). Everton manager Ronald Koeman said: "After 1-0 we showed character and finally maybe had to win the game in the last few seconds. We are in a difficult situation but it's one thing to come out of this and show fight like we did. In football, maybe it's only one point but it is a different picture. The players showed commitment. If there is no commitment by one player it is my job to bring in other players, but they work so hard every day to get it right."
