• Premier League admits Brighton decision was erroneous• Everton need a return at Southampton after recent mishapsMarco Silva’s grievances against VAR are likely to have increased after the Premier League informed Everton that its TV official for the Brighton game, Lee Mason, was wrong to award a penalty against Michael Keane.The Everton manager remains under severe pressure before Saturday’s visit to Southampton with his team fourth from bottom of the Premier League and without an away league win all season.
