Everton lost for the second time in a row after leading by two goals during the match

Everton’s start to the new season has been a complete disaster. Sean Dyche's side have lost all four matches in the Premier League and, alongside Southampton, sit at the very bottom of the table.

Interestingly, Everton lost their last two matches in identical fashion. In the previous round, the Toffees were leading 2-0 at home against Bournemouth until the 87th minute, only to end up losing. Today in Birmingham, Everton once again led 2-0 during the match but failed to secure any points.

• Received a vote of confidence. Everton head coach Sean Dyche is not at risk of being sacked

Notably, the Merseysiders have a shaky defense, conceding 13 goals in four matches — the worst record in the league. In their next match, Everton will host Southampton in the League Cup, followed by a trip to Leicester for their Premier League round five fixture.
