One consistent characteristic of Everton this season has been their inconsistency. Alex Iwobi’s team followed up their gallant 1-1 result away at Manchester City with a dismal 4-1 home defeat to Brighton on Tuesday.
Many believed Iwobi and his Everton teammates had turned the corner, but Brighton condemned them to a humbling defeat at home.
The Toffees trailed by just a goal after the first 45 minutes. The expectation was for Everton to come back stronger for the second half, but they capitulated like a pack of cards, conceding three goals within six second-half minutes.
