Brighton took a giant step towards Premier League safety after picking up a hard-earned point in a goalless draw with Everton – who face an uphill task in their battle to secure a top-four spot.
The Seagulls’ top scorer Neal Maupay fluffed a golden opportunity after the interval, while Yves Bissouma also went close for the hosts with a spectacular overhead kick.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men weren’t at the races on Monday evening, but could have snatched all three points at the death with Alex Iwobi’s left-footed effort flying just inches over the bar.

Neither side were able to find a winner and a goalless draw edged Brighton seven points clear of the relegation zone, while Everton’s winless run extended to five matches in all competitions.
Everton skipper Seamus Coleman admitted after the game that if the Merseysiders miss out on European football it will be their home form they will come to rue and not draws at places like Brighton.
“It’s a point away from home. Obviously we wanted to win the game but Brighton are a very good side and they made it difficult for us,” the Republic of Ireland international told Sky Sports.
