That issue will leave Brighton head coach Fab💮ian Hurzeler worried, though the performance from the rest of his side left little concern after a 4-0 victory.
Simon Adingra got things going in the first half before Jeremy Sarmientoജ, Julio Enciso and Adam Webster were on target after the interval in a routine second-round win.

Tim Iroegbunam and Iliman Ndiaye both scored their first competitive goals for Everton before backup striker Beto sealed a routine victory, which came in similar fashion to Palace🔯's 4-0 win over Norwich City.

Leicester City, another side without a point to their name in the top d🍨ivision yet, also overcame Tranmere Rovers 4-0 thanks to goals from new signing Jordan Ayew, Stephy Mavididi, Wilfred Ndidi and Harry Winks.
