Iliman Ndiaye - who scored the last goal at Goodison Park - netted the opener after 23 minutes before James Garner rocketed in the second goal seven minutes into the second half.

The Toffees lost their opening game of the campaign 1-0 to newly-promoted Leeds United but bounced back in style to secure an important win over the Seagulls.

David Moyes has been keen to add further signings to his squad, with new arrival Jack Grealish making a strong impact for Everton on his first start since his loan move from Manchester City. He provided both assists for the Toffees.

Now the feel-good factor at the club is set to continue with the blue half of Merseyside sealing their next transfer deal.

Everton agree deal and book medical for Tyler Dibling

After seeing several bids rejected for Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, Everton have now agreed a deal to sign the young forward.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who reports on X that a deal has been sealed between the clubs. He wrote late on Sunday night: “Everton medical for Tyler Dibling will take place in the next 24 hours after deal agreed with Southampton.”

Paul Joyce of The Times has reported that the fee will be £35m plus £5m in add-ons. Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace have also been linked with Dibling. Everton had saw bids rejected but Southampton made contact with the Toffees as their price on the player had come down.

Dibling had missed Southampton’s opening two matches of the 2025-26 season following the bids from Everton which were turned down. The 19-year-old also had not been training with the first team but came off the bench for the final eight minutes of a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town just over a week ago.

However, this weekend he was out of the squad again as Southampton hosted Stoke City on the south coast.

Speaking about his attacking options after the win over Brighton, David Moyes said: "We're beginning to get more attacking threat. Thierno [Barry] did a decent-enough job at times, so we just need those moments and be a little bit better going forward and hopefully, we'll be okay.”
