Danny Murphy speaking on Match of the Day, with David Moyes in a circular frame inset
It was much needed for the Blues and David Moyes, with questions starting to be asked at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Instead, consecutive Premier League wins against Newcastle and Coventry saw them leap back up to fifth, before the Sunday fixtures.
Before that, they also beat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final 16, setting up a quarter-final tie away at Fleetwood.
Not to be too complacent, but that sets up the perfect chance to reach the final four of a major competition.
And even Danny Murphy couldn't help but say positive things.
David Moyes working his magic again
Just when people start to wonder if he's cut out for it anymore, Moyes just goes about his business superbly.
Thierno Barry has played a huge role, too, scoring four goals across those three victories, with an assist as well.
Speaking on BBC Match of the Day to finish the programme, Murphy even found time to celebrate the brilliant week for the Blues.
"It's hard to congratulate them too much," he said.
"But, they are doing well."
The former Liverpool midfielder was even congratulated by Gabby Logan for putting his former loyalties behind him.
What next for Everton?
European football has always been the goal over the past two seasons, especially after missing out last time.
Though, not many actually expected it this time around given the transfer failures of the Friedkins and Angus Kinnear.
Leaving Moyes with only one senior striker and one genuine option at each side of defence, injuries could still hit.
Despite that, and losing full-backs recently, Everton have returned to much-needed winning ways.
All they can do is continue that until January, then hope that money is made available to bolster the squad and add real quality to it.
With Jack Grealish also returning to training and back for selection after his disciplinary issues, you'd hope that he's rejuvinated and ready to add to the feel-good factor around the place.
All Moyes and Everton can do is keep winning, then you'd expect the rest to simply take care of itself.
