Brighton 1 Everton 5

Everton ripped up the form book at the Amex, winning for the first time in eight games and only the second time on the road all season. A brace from Abdoulaye Doucoure and an own goal from Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele gave them a 3-0 lead at the break and Dwight McNeil added a fourth and a last-gasp fifth in the second half, to make it easily their biggest victory of the season.
