Late Dunk header secures draw for Brighton against Everton in Premier League

Lewis Dunk's stoppage-time header secured a 1-1 draw for Brighton against Everton in the Premier League. Dunk's goal, his third of the season, came five minutes into added time and canceled out Jarrad Branthwaite's opener for Everton. The match seemed to be heading towards a victory for Everton, especially after Brighton's Billy Gilmour was sent off. However, Dunk's late intervention extended Everton's winless league run to nine games. With this draw, Everton sits just one point above the relegation zone. Brighton remains in seventh place but faces competition for European qualification. The result highlights Everton's struggle to secure wins, with this being their fifth draw in their last six league games. Despite constant pressure from Brighton, Everton managed to take the lead through Branthwaite's superb strike. However, they were unable to hold on to the lead and missed a chance to seal the victory. Lewis Dunk's goal on his 400th league appearance for Brighton was a fitting end to a frustrating day for the hosts. The draw extends Brighton's unbeaten home record to 11 games.
