Danny Welbeck praised Kaoru Mitoma's exceptional skills as Brighton and Hove Albion triumphed 3-0 against Everton. Mitoma, who had been sidelined with a lower back injury, scored at Goodison Park alongside Welbeck and Simon Adingra, marking a strong start to the Premier League season for the Seagulls.

Welbeck, formerly of Manchester United and Arsenal, expressed his admiration for Mitoma's contributions. "He is a special talent and we all know the ability he's got. In one v ones there's not many better in the Premier League and it's great to have him back and adding to the firepower we've got," Welbeck stated on the club's official website.

At just 31 years old, Fabian Hurzeler has become the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history. He was particularly proud of his team's defensive performance against Everton. "It was a tough game, especially the first minutes it was exactly what we expected it to be at Goodison Park but we survived together," Hurzeler told Sky Sports.

Hurzeler highlighted his team's compact defence, especially against crosses from Everton. "We defended compact, especially in the box, especially the crosses, there was a lot of crosses from Everton," he noted. He also praised their ball control after a slow start. "Then also good moments in possession, not so much in the first minutes but then after a quiet time in the game we controlled the game," he added.

Everton manager Sean Dyche acknowledged his team's shortcomings in front of goal. "Certainly the way we performed in the first half was I thought decent. But we know one of the biggest challenges is finding the clinical moments which we didn't do," Dyche said.

Dyche pointed out that scoring goals remains their toughest challenge. "The hardest thing to affect is goal scoring. We've been in a situation this summer where we've brought in players who we think can be more effective but they haven't experienced the Premier League," he explained.

The match showcased Brighton's attacking prowess and defensive solidity under Hurzeler's leadership. The Seagulls' convincing win sets a positive tone for their Premier League campaign.
