‘The point and performance against City can be massive for us': Everton defender Ben Godfrey insists the Toffees have to find 'consistency' after their 1-1 draw with Manchester City, as they prepare to face Brighton on Tuesday

Everton defender Ben Godfrey says the Toffees must replicate the fighting spirit they showed against Manchester City in Tuesday’s clash with Brighton.

Frank Lampard’s men, who are a point above the Premier League relegation zone in 16th place, ended a run of three successive defeats by holding champions City to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on New Year’s Eve.

They return to Goodison Park today to play 10th-placed Brighton, for the first time since losing 2-1 to Wolves on Boxing Day, thanks to a stoppage-time Rayan Ait-Nouri goal.
