Dreamland continues for Everton, back at the top of the league after four wins out of four, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin one goal short of double figures for the season. It was already Everton’s best start to a Premier League season before Brighton were added to their list of victims, but with seven wins out of seven in all competitions, Carlo Ancelotti and his players now have historians looking at records more than a century old.
Everton were not flattered by another impressive scoreline yet Ancelotti will feel there is still room for improvement, especially in defence. Jordan Pickford is looking a weak point, though his occasionally erratic display did not matter much because the visitors had far more glaring defensive deficiencies and Everton were equipped to take full advantage.
