Everton has moved to a new stadium: victory over Brighton and a brace from Grealish.
Everton defeated Brighton for the first time at the new stadium
According to The Sun: A joyful event took place at the new Hill Dickinson stadium for David Moyes and his players.
SAME SIREN. Same Z cars anthem blared out before kick-off. But not the same old song within Everton’s splendid new home sweet home.
Iliman Ndiaye, who scored the team's last two goals against Southampton three months ago, etched his name in history as the first to score in the new home.
James Garner scored the second goal, Jack Grealish played brilliantly, and Jordan Pickford made a superb penalty save when Brighton tried to spoil the celebration.
The clash was the history-making start of a hoped-for new future for a club that had spent the last years almost drowning in debt.
800 million pounds were invested in the Bramley-Moore stadium to create the seventh largest stadium in the Premier League, which can host almost 20,000 more spectators than Goodison Park.
Jack Grealish celebrates the opening of the new home
Jack Grealish was given an opportunity for a better future at Everton following a loan move from Moyes.
He was repaying the favour by the 23rd minute having already shown Mats Wieffer that he wasn’t backing down from the right back’s fierce early challenges.
By the 23rd minute, he had already shown his worth by providing an assist.
Outcome: Everton achieved victory over Brighton at their new stadium, marking a historical beginning of a new era for a club that has struggled with financial issues. The opening of the new stadium brought more joy to players and fans and opened new prospects for future competitions.Read also
