Brighton piled the pressure on Everton manager Frank Lampard with an emphatic victory at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

Kaoru Mitoma gave the Seagulls the lead with a composed finish after Moises Caicedo picked out the Japan winger on the edge of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

The Toffees, who were fortunate not to fall further behind when teenager Evan Ferguson struck the outside of the post, were booed off at half-time.<\/p>\n

But they fell apart completely after the restart as Brighton scored three goals in a remarkable six-minute spell early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, making his full Premier League debut, sidefooted Jeremy Sarmiento\u2019s low cross into the top corner before turning provider for Solly March to drill home the Seagulls\u2019 third.<\/p>\n

Idrissa Gueye\u2019s atrocious backpass was then easily intercepted by Pascal Gross, who coolly beat Jordan Pickford with a chipped finish.<\/p>\n

Demarai Gray converted a late penalty for Everton, but it was nothing more than a consolation on a miserable evening for the hosts and their supporters.<\/p>\n

The final whistle was greeted by more boos from the home fans, who have seen their team win only one of their past 10 top-flight games.<\/p>\n

Everton could drop into the Premier League\u2019s bottom three on Wednesday if other results go against them, while Brighton move back up to eighth.<\/p>\n
