Everton manager David Moyes was delighted with his side as they sealed their first home win in three months against Burnley.
There were a number of standout performers for Everton, with James Garner living up to his usual standards for the Blues.
The dreadful run at the Hill Dickinson Stadium has come to an end in convincing style as the Blues took their tally up to 43 points for the season.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall secured the points with his sixth goal of the Premier League campaign.

David Moyes impressed with Everton trio in Burnley victory
Moyes recently claimed Idrissa Gana Gueye looked tired on the back of his efforts at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal.
However, the 62-year-old hailed his midfielder and Dewsbury-Hall in his post-match interview with TNT Sports.

“I think Gana Gueye has been exceptional for us for many years and the people here will tell you that more than me,” said Moyes.
“I think he is actually just beginning to get back to his best after AFCON. I think him and Ili are just beginning to do a lot better than maybe they were a month ago when they came back.
“Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as well. Kiernan came back from an injury and they’re just beginning to get back into good form. Jimmy Garner has been great all season.”
Thomas Tuchel has urged Dewsbury-Hall to continue his form and he is coming into form at the right end of the season.
Jack Grealish’s absence has been a significant loss for the Blues this season, so having the likes of Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall step up must be pleasing for Moyes.
Dewsbury-Hall is returning the goods for Everton
Over his last five Premier League appearances, Dewsbury-Hall has returned two goals and two assists.
The midfielder had opportunities on goal in the first half, but it took him until the second 45 minutes to get his name on the scoresheet.
Only two of Dewsbury-Hall’s five efforts were on target throughout the game on the Liverpool docks.
However, with Moyes demanding more consistency from his strikers, the 62-year-old will be pleased to see his other players offering an attacking threat.
If Everton are to push for the European spots then players like Dewsbury-Hall will be crucial.
