We asked you for your thoughts on Saturday's Premier League match between Brighton and Everton.

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans

Bill: At the end of the season it will be interesting to see how many points we gained from clubs in the top half of the table and how many from clubs in the bottom half.

Mick: Given the history, it was always going to be a difficult game. Always on top but unable to penetrate the massed defence. We faded as the game wore on and conceded a well taken goal. We did show more energy after the three substitutions but that was made more difficult after the Billy Gilmour dismissal. Fully deserved equaliser from Dunk who was brilliant throughout. We missed Kaoru Mitoma.

Ashley: We really found it tough to break through Everton's defence but take a point and we move on to the cup game against Wolves. Tariq Lamptey was my man of the match and yet again skipper Dunk saved us.

Guy: Brighton played well. Lots of good link-up play but we just lacked the cutting edge until Dunky powered his later header into the top corner. A well deserved point.

Everton fans

Richard: Good defensive display again, it seems it is the only way we can play. The fourth best defence in the league but fourth from bottom - it doesn’t make sense. Oh yeah! The 10-point deduction! Give us fans our points back. It’s football, not politics.

Chis: 1-0 up against 10 men and we sat back instead of going for the kill. Typical Dyche football and got what we deserved! The loss of those two points could be vital at the end of the season.

Mark: We really need to be earning more than draws. We are difficult to beat but struggling to score enough goals to win. Goals need to become more prevalent soon.

Russ: Negative Dyche against 10 men. He does the opposite of what is needed every time.

While plenty - managers, players, the level, even the stadium - has changed about Brighton over the past 15 years, one thing hasn't: Lewis Dunk.

It was fitting that the Seagulls skipper - described as a "Brighton legend, the soul of the team" by boss Roberto De Zerbi - popped up with a stoppage-time equaliser to mark his 400th league appearance for the club.

He rarely gets the plaudits or headlines that some of Brighton's flair players enjoy but his importance will never be underplayed by those closest to the club.

His goal - a trademark booming header - got his team-mates out of jail a bit as, not for the first time, they had failed to make their supremacy over a weaker opponent show in the scoreline.

But a point is better than nothing as the Seagulls bid to secure European football at the Amex for a second successive season.

They do, however, need their injury issues to clear up, with Kaoru Mitoma's back problem forcing him to miss this game and robbing De Zerbi of yet another creative outlet.

Brighton defender Lewis Dunk after capping his 400th league appearance for the club with a stoppage-time leveller against Everton: "Mixed emotions – we are frustrated not to win.

"I think we dominated the game, I don’t know what they had other than the goal? T (Tariq Lamptey) cleared one off the line but that was probably their two chances.

"Against them, defending set-pieces is tough, that’s what they are good at but we have to kill games off when we are dominating them and we’ve been speaking about that for a while now.

"That’s the next step we have to make but the character we showed when going down to 10 men was outstanding and to come back and get a draw was massive.

"I said after the win at Sheffield United that we had a massive six, seven, eight games coming up that could define our season and hopefully today was a massive point."

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi to BBC Match of the Day after his 10-man Seagulls rescued a stoppage-time draw against relegation-battling Everton: "Everton are a very good team but we played very well and I think we deserved to win.

"We have a big respect for the opponent always but I have to be honest and I think we played much better and we created more chances to score.

"But we are playing with a lot of, too many, injuries, especially in attack and we are losing a lot of important points and places in the table and I am frustrated for it because we have eight or nine draws – if you analyse these draws you can see how many times we deserved to win.

"I am frustrated because our table could be different if you analyse the quality of the games, how many chances we created in respect of the opponent – today was like Fulham, Burnley, Sheffield United.

"Today we made a lot of mistakes in the last 20 metres, we had many chances to score and we lost another two points."
