Everton defender Mason Holgate insists the players are fully behind under-fire manager Marco Silva.

The Toffees controlled vast periods of Saturday's match at Brighton before falling to a morale-sapping 3-2 loss after conceding a controversial late penalty and a stoppage-time own goal.

He is adamant Everton's squad still support their Portuguese coach.

Holgate said: "A hundred per cent. I think it shows by the last two performances we've put out.

"Last week (a 2-0 win over West Ham) we were all unbelievable, and then this week we were doing really well and then there's a decision (the penalty) in there that's just completely flipped the game on its head.

"We've not been happy with our results but I think the result last week lifted spirits.

"Like I said, there's a huge turning point in the game that when you've not got your luck, things like that happen.

"But we'll keep going, we'll get together again, we'll lift ourselves."
