Young own goal give Brighton draw at Everton
Ashley Young’s unfortunate own goal allowed Brighton to salvage a late Premier League point at Everton.
The visitors were being contained by a resolute Everton backline before Kaoru Mitoma’s cross from the left on 84 minutes took a deflection off Young and looped in over Jordan Pickford.
Ukraine full-back Mykolenko fired home a strike which deflected in off Lewis Dunk at the near post after only seven minutes, when the visitors could not clear his initial effort.
Brighton captain Dunk thought he had made amends with a stunning volley from Pascal Gross’ free-kick, but the effort was ruled out by VAR for offside.
The visiting centre-half also forced Jordan Pickford into a fine save in the second period with a dipping free-kick, before Young’s unlucky intervention gave them a draw.
