Michael Keane off mark as Everton beat Hajduk Split in Europa League via The Guardian

• Everton 2-0 Hajduk Split
• Goals from Keane and Idrissa Gueye enough for Toffees
Everton kept a third consecutive European clean sheet and can take a healthy lead to Croatia for next week’s second leg of their play-off. Hajduk’s Split’s boisterous supporters proved to be more troublesome than their players and Everton ought to be able to claim a place in the Europa League proper from here, even if they really should have won by a more convincing margin. It is just as well Wayne Rooney has already scored the first goal of his second spell at Goodison because he will look back at the chances he had in this game and wonder how he failed to get on to the scoresheet.

Everton started brightly, with Ademola Lookman skipping elegantly past Josip Radosevic in midfield and Rooney deceiving Zoran Nizic so comprehensively that the Split captain was obliged to chop him down. They might have taken an early lead had Davy Klaassen been able to reach a cross flashed across the face of goal after Rooney and Lookman had combined on the right, though on the odd occasion the visitors attacked they looked quite dangerous, with Nikola Vlasic narrowly wide with the first shot of the evening. The home side found it easy to make inroads down the flanks, with Lookman showing up well in the first half, yet struggled to find a telling final ball. Several times they wasted good opportunities to cross, perhaps realising that they no longer have the aerial threat of Romelu Lukaku, only to fail to come up with a worthwhile alternative.
