Journalist shares what Everton fans did to ex Liverpool midfielder James Milner v Brighton
Everton fans gave former Liverpool midfielder James Milner a rather special welcome at Goodison Park in the Brighton Premier League clash.
Milner, who moved to the Amex Stadium in the summer on a free transfer, was at Anfield before that where he won the Premier League and Champions League.
The Toffees supporters booed the Englishman the moment he touched the ball, putting him under pressure.
Liverpool Echo journalist Connor O'Neill wrote on Twitter, "Boos for James Milner."
Good
The Merseyside rivalry is as brutal and personal as it gets in the city and the Everton fans weren't going to let any ex Liverpool player have an easy day.
Putting Milner under pressure benefits Everton too and also ups the tempo inside the stadium - making it a better experience for the fans.
The Toffees started the game strongly and took a decisive lead despite Brighton dominating possession throughout the game.
Brighton had a well-hit goal by Lewis Dunk chalked off due to offside and that encouraged the home support even more than usual.
It remains to be seen what sort of an impact this result has on the Everton side as they remain away from the relegation zone.
There are a lot of challenges Sean Dyche is dealing with and the chaos behind the scenes isn't helping either.
