Everton faced a challenging start to their Premier League season on Saturday with a 3-0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.
This match was particularly notable as it saw Ashley Young become the oldest player ever to be sent off in the Premier League at the age of 39 years and 39 days.
The game, managed by Sean Dyche, was already unfavorable for Everton, who were trailing 2-0 due to goals from Mitoma and Welbeck before Young's ejection.
The incident occurred when Young brought down Mitoma, leading to his red card and reducing Everton to ten men. This historic moment added to the woes of an already difficult afternoon for the Toffees.
As reported, "Everton have endured a horror start to the season against Brighton and will be coming away with a piece of Premier League history."
