Everton christened their new home in a perfect way, securing a commanding 2-0 victory over Brighton to mark a historic first competitive match at the Everton Stadium.
This was more than just a game; it was about laying down a marker for a new era. For Everton, the mission was to immediately banish the memory of last season's struggles at home and bounce back from an opening day defeat by starting a fresh chapter with a win.
Brighton arrived not as spectators but as determined party spoilers, eager to get their own season up and running after late heartbreak in their first match and silence the celebratory atmosphere.
The home side seized the historic occasion, taking the lead midway through the first half when a cross from the left was expertly met by Iliman Ndiaye, who stretched to volley the ball home at the far post (1-0).
The dream start got even better shortly after the break. In the 52nd minute, the ball found James Garner on the edge of the area, and he unleashed a fierce low drive that found the bottom corner to double the lead (2-0).
Brighton were handed a golden opportunity to get back into the game in the 77th minute when referee Stuart Attwell pointed to the spot after a handball. However, it was not to be their day, as Danny Welbeck's penalty was brilliantly saved by Jordan Pickford.
For Everton, this was the perfect start to life in their new home. The victory provides their first points of the season and, more importantly, establishes their new ground as a fortress from the very first whistle, a stark contrast to their previous troubles.
After the cruel late penalty conceded at Leeds last week, this dominant performance and clean sheet will be a massive boost as they look to build momentum ahead of their trip to Wolverhampton.
Brighton, meanwhile, will be left to rue what could have been. After conceding a late equaliser in their opener, this defeat, compounded by a crucial missed penalty, leaves them still searching for their first win. They failed in their mission to spoil the party and now face the daunting task of hosting Manchester City, knowing they must find a clinical edge to turn their fortunes around.
To calculate the above duration values based on a total of 90 minutes, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are considered scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are considered scored on the 90th minute.

How is the Domination Index calculated?
⌄
The Domination Index calculation is based on the average of the following percentages:
- Possession percentage - Percentage of match corners awarded to each team - Percentage of time each team has been in the lead
'Domination' in football can be perceived in different ways. The goal of the Domination Index, as calculated here, is not about trying to determine things like 'who should have won' or which team has been simply attacking the most.
Sometimes a team has easily scored once or twice in the beginning of the game and then opts for a more reactive stance, with a focus on hindering the opponent's game. At the end of the match, the opponent might have had more possession, and even more shots, but that does not necessarily mean they have dominated the other team.
Considering possession as only one of the factors, which also include corners (clearly indicating a form of pressure on the opponent's defence), and how much of the 90-minute match duration each team has been leading, allows to also account for when teams have simply been busy controling the game, without needing to attack a lot.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Everton have been in the lead for an average duration of 33.5 minutes per match (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is longer than the average duration of 3.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
Lead-defending ability Everton have taken the lead 1 instance and have conceded an equalizer on 0 instances, translating into a lead-defending rate of 100% (for an opponents' equalizing rate of 0%).
Equalizing ability Of the 1 time that Everton's opponents have taken the lead, Everton have managed to score an equalizer on 0 instances, translating into an equalizing rate of 0%.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Everton have been in the lead for an average duration of 67.0 minutes per match played at home (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is longer than the average duration of 0.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
