Everton’s improvement under new manager David Moyes continued apace as Iliman Ndiaye’s contentious first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win against Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
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.
