Nathan Broadhead (Davies, 88) N/A - Not enough time for the young forward to influence the game. AFP

BRIGHTON PLAYER RATINGS: Robert Sanchez 6 - Everton struggled to create anything against a stubborn Brighton defence but the Spanish goalkeeper nearly gifted the visitors the lead after a careless touch was attacked by Richarlison. EPA

Ben White 6 - Scouts watching Ben White won’t be able to take too much from Monday night’s game as the two five-man defences rarely allowed any attacking danger. Some good passes helped begin Brighton moves and White wasn’t troubled defensively. AFP

Lewis Dunk 7 - Brighton’s captain dealt with Richarlison strongly and looked to always be in the way of Everton crosses from Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman. AFP

Joel Veltman 6 - Could have worked better with Jakub Moder to stop some Everton attacks down the right but the Dutchman didn’t put a foot wrong as the entire Brighton team looked to get back and help defend. AP

Pascal Gross 6 - While Gross helped provide width for Brighton’s attacks, it was clear that the Frenchman would have much preferred to be playing in his normal midfield role. Gross’s shift at wing-back didn’t allow the German to express himself. PA

Yves Bissouma 8 - A spectacular overhead kick almost produced the goal of the season. But while Bissouma didn't have his shooting boots on, the midfielder was strong on the ball, with passes leading to a number of meaningful opportunities. Brighton's best player on the night. EPA

Adam Lallana 7 - The former Liverpool midfielder was positive on the ball and tried to get Brighton moving in the right direction with a number of key passes and dribbles. But it was a tough night for both attacks at the Amex Stadium. AFP

Jakub Moder 6 - Sloppy defensively at times but the versatile Polish star produced one of the best crosses of the game in the 66th minute. A couple of half-chances didn’t threaten Robin Olsen’s goal. PA

Leandro Trossard 7 - A regular threat when isolating defenders with trickery and was one of few who looked like they could make something happen amid a defensive battle. EPA

Danny Welbeck 6 - Worked hard defensively to deal with the attacking runs of Coleman but rarely threatened going forward. Should have done much better with a good chance after being put through by Bissouma. AFP

Neal Maupay 6 - The Brighton forward worked hard to link play but the biggest chance the Frenchman had was blocked by Yerry Mina. A tough day with not much service. PA

Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Maupay, 88) N/A - Should have been brought on earlier as he is someone that could have added impetus to the game. PA

EVERTON PLAYER RATINGS: Robin Olsen 6 - Could have been playing in a pre-season friendly as the Everton defence dealt with everything Brighton had to offer. Just three of 23 shots hit the target; none looked like troubling the goalkeeper. PA

Michael Keane 6 - Looked unbalanced by Trossard at times but didn’t make too many mistakes other than a careless pass intercepted close to the Everton goal. EPA

Yerry Mina 7 - The Colombian blocked Brighton’s best chance of the first half before being substituted early in the second after a slight knock. PA

Mason Holgate 6 - Some good passes helped Everton move the ball out of defence. The defender didn’t capture much attention defensively and that’s usually a good thing for a centre-back. No mistakes as he helped his side to a clean sheet. PA

Seamus Coleman 7 - Provided good support in attack and was solid in defence, blocking a Brighton chance in the second half. A captain’s display from Coleman who produced one of Eveton's brighter performances on the night. euters

Ben Godfrey 6 - It was clear Godfrey hadn’t played much in central midfield as the Everton man struggled to cope with Lallana and Bissouma. Mina’s substitution meant he moved back into defence - producing a fine block against Welbeck who looked to have a golden chance to break the deadlock in the 76th minute. EPA

Tom Davies 6 - Worked hard in defence but didn’t offer much when deployed as the central-midfielder with more freedom alongside Godfrey. AP

Lucas Digne 6 - Provided options on the left flank and put in some crosses but was unable to put the ball into any dangerous areas. AFP

Gylfi Sigurdsson 6 - The Icelandic was almost non-existent at the Amex stadium. Needs to do more. PA

James Rodriguez 7 - Colombian playmaker displayed some moments of class with intricate passing but a pragmatic approach from Carlo Ancelotti made it difficult to create chances of any value. EPA

Richarlison 6 - Came up a back three which rarely afforded him any space. The loss of Calvert-Lewin meant that the Brazilian could only feed off scraps, Nearly opened the scoring after a heavy touch from Sanchez left the ball to be contested. AP

SUBS: Alex Iwobi (Mina, 58) 6 - Almost stole all three points with an effort late on. AP
