Everton are beaten 3-2 by Brentford at Goodison Park after being reduced to NINE men, with Frank Lampard's side just two points clear of the relegation zone following second-half Bees comeback

Yoane Wissa created one goal and scored another as Brentford compounded Everton's Premier League relegation woes with a thrilling 3-2 victory at Goodison Park on Sunday that leaves the Merseyside club, who finished with nine men, still in peril.

Everton's bright start was rewarded with a first goal since August for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but their day turned sour when teenage centre back Jarrad Branthwaite was deservedly sent-off for a professional foul after 18 minutes.

Brentford took control after that as Wissa forced Everton captain Seamus Coleman to put the ball into his own net, though Richarlison restored the home advantage from the penalty spot to give his team a 2-1 lead at halftime.
