""It was massive. First game at the new stadium and we wanted to put on a show for the supporters. Very happy to get the win. "It's massive. I loved my time at Man City and I had a great four years there and won a lot of things. As soon as I spoke to David Moyes on FaceTime, I wanted to come here and today shows why. "I said yesterday that the manager hadn't played us [Iliman Ndiaye] together in training. Today is the first time.""
""We'll see how they play and if their performances are good. Jack has got a couple of assists today and Iliman has a goal. "We need to score more goals. One thing I don't want to lose is the spirit on the pitch. We want more flair and quality.""
""It's amazing, the fans are always behind us whether we go home or away, we've got great support and we can't thank them enough. "It's about letting them go home happy which we have done today. It's a start and we want to keep building momentum at this place and be resilient so that's what we'll try to do.""
Everton secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton in the inaugural match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Manchester City loan signing Jack Grealish setting up Iliman Ndiaye for the opener and creating James Garner's second. Grealish revealed he had never trained alongside Ndiaye before the game, yet the pair combined effectively to spark the win. Manager David Moyes praised their contributions while emphasising the need for more goals and the importance of maintaining spirit, flair and quality. Jordan Pickford kept a clean sheet, made a late save from Danny Welbeck, and thanked supporters while urging the team to build momentum and resilience at the new ground.
