Sean Dyche: 'The feelgood factor is very important but a good away win is only another step and we have three more big steps we have got to take'

Brighton 1 Everton 5

Everton ripped up the form book at the Amex on Monday evening, 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. It was easily their biggest win of the campaign, and their highest margin of victory since another 5-1 away win, over Burnley on Boxing day 2018 when their present manager, Sean Dyche, was in charge at Turf Moor.
