Danny Welbeck scored one goal and set up another as Brighton & Hove Albion eased to a 3-0 victory at 10-man Everton on Saturday, a perfect start for the Premier League’s youngest-ever permanent manager.

Kaoru Mitoma scored at the back post after excellent work from debutant winger Yankuba Minteh, before Welbeck profited from sloppy play by Everton in midfield to add a second and Simon Adingra added a late third to underline Brighton's superiority.

Manager Fabian Huerzeler, 31, will be delighted with a performance in which his side took their chances, in contrast to their hosts who were wasteful In front of goal but also had a penalty decision in their favour controversially overturned by the Video Assistant Referee with the score at 1-0.

Everton right-back Ashley Young was sent off midway through the second half to compound a miserable afternoon for Everton.
