Everton vs Brighton
Everton are currently locked in Premier League action with Brighton.
The Toffees headed into the game on a dismal run of form, which had seen them pick up just one win in their last 11 matches.
However, with Brighton struggling for goals this term and Dominic Calvert-Lewin returning to the starting line-up for the Toffees, hopes of a rare win were no doubt high at Goodison Park.
But, so far, that looks very unlikely to happen.
Everton fans make Rafa Benitez demand
Brighton, despite struggling for goals, took a two-goal lead 21 minutes into the match.
This was then followed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin missing a penalty after 25 minutes.
Such a dismal opening to the game has now seemingly tipped many Everton fans over the edge.
A number of the Toffees faithful have now taken to social media to demand Rafa Benitez leave the club, with just some of the reaction shown below:
Benitez has to go ….

I’m sorry to start the year on a negative, however I’ve had enough of Benitez he has to go, negative tactics every single game. His better days are long gone time for a fresh face with more attacking ambitions.

Should Everton go on to lose vs Brighton, which seems likely at present, can the Everton board really afford to stick with the Spaniard who would have won just one in 12?
