# Everton: Fans reacted to blow for Bernard

**It was the weekend of nightmares for Everton fans, watching their side suffer a 3-2 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, and now it looks like the situation has got even worse.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”247885″\]

Lucas Digne’s last-minute own goal ensured the Toffees’ fourth loss in six games, with Marco Silva now under more pressure to turn Everton’s form around in time to challenge for a top-six place.

After going 1-0 down due to a Pascal Gross free-kick, Silva’s side managed to temporarily turn it around with goals from Adam Webster (OG) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin temporarily gifting them a 2-1 lead.

However, a crazy last ten minutes saw Neal Maupay equalise through a VAR gifted penalty before Digne deflected the ball into his own net to give Brighton a 3-2 advantage.

This wasn’t the end of Everton’s troubles, however, when the news came in yesterday that winger Bernard [suffered medial ligament damage](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bernard-everton-injury-brighton-silva-17155218) during the loss, being taken off within the first half an hour.

In pure frustration, Toffees supporters reacted to the hammer blow, taking aim to their under-fire boss:
