Doubles for Alexis Mac Allister and Anthony Gordon on each side helped drive the action - but it is the Toffees who are unstuck by the Seagulls in the end.
The Seagulls took the lead when Veltman flicks a one-touch cross in off the right wing, Maupay heads back to earth as the Everton defence fails to contain him and the Argentine is there to fire home at close-range.
Brighton Hove Albion made it 2-0 after Jordan Pickford leaks for a second time at close-range, Mwepu turns it across and the defender is there to nudge in at the far post.
Everton had a chance four minutes later after Calvert-Lewin steps up - and puts his penalty into orbit, over the top of the crossbar! Sanchez goes the right way but too low.
Gordon coasts a great run in off the right wing before hooking his left-footed finish towards goal to make it 3-1 after 53 minutes.
Mac Allister doubled his goals with a beautiful volley from outside the box, rifled above Jordan Pickford and into the roof of the net! Magnificent.
Six minutes later, It's a double for the Toffees man too, as he offers a near-instant response for the hosts! Kenny sticks the cross in, and he muzzles a close-range, tight finish past Sanchez.
Both sides will take a break from the Premier League now, of course, with the FA Cup next up. For Everton, a trip to Hull City awaits - while Brighton will make the journey to face West Brom.
