Everton manager Marco Silva has called for VAR to be used fairly for both teams after a contentious penalty decision turned Saturday's game in Brighton's favour,
The Toffees were 2-1 up with just over ten minutes to go when Michael Keane challenged Aaron Connolly in the air, and while there seemed to be minimal contact, VAR awarded a Brighton penalty that Neal Maupay converted.
Lucas Digne's stoppage-time own goal gifted the Seagulls all three points, but the Everton manager seemed most frustrated that his side weren't awarded a penalty of their own following
Speaking after the match, as reported by Sky Sports, Silva revealed his frustration, stating: "
It's been a bad start to the season for the Toffees - languishing just above the Premier League relegation zone and having lost five of their last six fixtures - and this latest defeat will do little to ease the pressure on the Everton manager.
FT. It's a sickening way to lose the game for the Blues.
