Oh no...

Theo Walcott's game looks over.

He's gone down with what looks like a calf injury and after treatment he slowly makes his way off the pitch to be replaced by Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Brighton need a goal and have sent on their record signing Jurgen Locadia.

He is presented with a chance with his first touch but can't find the target.

What an entrance that would have been had he scored.

Yannick Bolasie's cross for the goal was a rare moment of quality in this match.

He has been Everton's spark.

The Toffees are back in the top half of the 'as it stands' table.

Everton have their tails up.

What does manager of the month Chris Hughton do now?

His Brighton side have managed just seven league goals on their travels this season.

They need another or they are heading for defeat.

You can sense a change in the atmosphere among the crowd.

It's very flat and as another home move breaks downs, the first grumbles from the stands can be heard.

Yannick Bolasie jumps into Ezequiel Schelotto after the ball runs away from the Everton forward.

Bolasie is on the ground waving an imaginary card.

Roger East promptly pulls a yellow from his pocket and show it to the Brighton man.

The biggest cheer of the afternoon came at half-time when former Everton winger Andrei Kanchelskis was introduced to the crowd.

It's quiet inside Goodison. Everton need to win this with home matches against Manchester City and Liverpool coming up.

Pascal Gross wide from 20 yards as Brighton continue their bright start to the second half.

Everton have had one counter - a move involving Theo Walcott and Tom Davies ending when the latter fell and lost possession inside the Brighton penalty area.

Jordan Pickford takes a tumble but prevents a corner after Seamus Coleman gets it horribly wrong with an attempted back header.

Back under way.

Lukewarm applause from the home fans as the teams head for the dressing rooms.

Everton have had eight efforts but only one of those has been on target.

It will be interesting to hear the reaction of Everton fans at the end of the half.

Will it be applause for in recognition of their team's endeavour or jeers for failing to score? Or a bit of both?
