Everton secured a vital victory over relegation rivals Leicester City, claiming their third win in four matches since David Moyes returned as manager.
Abdoulaye Doucouré etched his name into the club’s history books by scoring Everton’s fastest-ever goal, firing the Toffees ahead just 10 seconds after kickoff. Beto doubled the lead inside six minutes, putting Everton in firm control early on.
The Portuguese striker struck again in first-half stoppage time, latching onto a perfectly weighted through ball from James Garner to make it 3-0 before the break.
Iliman Ndiaye added the finishing touch in the 90th minute, showing great persistence to dispossess Caleb Okoli before before slotting home, leaving the goalkeeper stranded.
The result moves Everton nine points clear of the relegation zone, with a game in hand further boosting their survival hopes.
