Double delight for Irish Brighton teens against Everton in Premier League

On Tuesday night, Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson scored his second consecutive top-flight goal and grabbed an assist on his full league debut while Irish under-21 international Andrew Moran made his Premier League debut off the bench at Goodison Park.

The Brighton duo helped their side to a 4-1 away victory over Everton with the goals coming from Kaoru Mitoma, Ferguson, Solly March (assisted by Ferguson) and Pascal Groß.

Ferguson, who made his first league appearance of the season against Southampton on St Stephen's Day, has two goals and one assist in 108 minutes of Premier League action across three appearances.

The 18-year-old has impressed Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi with fellow Irish player Moran also catching the eye. The attacking midfielder was rewarded with a Premier League debut in the 79th minute.

Moran, 19, arrived at the club from Bray Wanderers in 2020 and has been in fine form for Brighton's underage sides.
