Everton secured their third consecutive victory under returning manager David Moyes, widening the gap between themselves and Leicester City to nine points with a commanding 4-0 triumph at Goodison Park. Similar to their previous home game, Everton 's success hinged on a dominant first half.
Abdoulaye Doucoure etched his name in Everton's history books by scoring the fastest goal in the club's 147-year history, finding the net just 10 seconds after kickoff, setting the tone for a memorable afternoon. Beto then doubled the lead on the sixth minute, followed by a second goal in first-half stoppage time, putting Everton firmly in control at 3-0. The rout was completed just before the game entered stoppage time as Iliman Ndiaye added a fourth goal, cementing Everton's victory and showcasing their attacking prowess.Jordan Pickford, having assisted in the record-breaking goal, commanded his penalty area with confidence, thwarting any Leicester attempts. Jake O'Brien continued his impressive run of form, his third goal ruled out for offside before Beto's second. Vitalii Mykolenko delivered a crucial pass to Doucoure just before Beto's second goal and displayed unwavering determination throughout the game. James Tarkowski led by example with a commanding performance, showcasing both strength and technical skill with a precise pass that set up Beto's second. Jarrad Branthwaite, despite suffering a first-half injury scare, battled through the pain and delivered crucial challenges, demonstrating his commitment and defensive prowess. Idrissa Gueye followed his commendable performance at Brighton with another strong showing, showcasing relentless energy and determination in midfield. James Garner, making his return to the starting lineup, delivered an exceptional performance, threading a brilliant pass for Beto's third goal and making a crucial tackle to dispossess Jamie Vardy.Jesper Lindstrom, on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, missed a chance to score towards the end of his time on the pitch, but his overall performance under David Moyes has been a marked improvement, reflecting the team's renewed attacking intent. Abdoulaye Doucoure capitalized on the opportunity to score with his signature calm composure, firing past Mads Hermansen. He further impressed with his all-around play, though he could have sealed the victory with a chance before halftime. Iliman Ndiaye, growing in confidence and influence throughout the game, deservedly scored his late goal, showcasing his dribbling skills and ability to torment defenders. Beto, with his two goals, demonstrated his growing confidence and ability to lead the line, making a strong case to be Everton's main striker in the coming weeks. Substitutes Ashley Young, Tim Iroegbunam, Nathan Patterson, and Jack Harrison all made valuable contributions in their limited playing time
