Everton have secured their second victory of 2026, with three big points on the road against Fulham.
As David Moyes watched from the stands, it was a much improved second half showing that did it for the Blues.
A goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall got the Toffees back into the game before a Bernd Leno own goal handed out all three points.
Everton secured the double over the Cottagers in the Premier League, with three points taking them clear of Marco Silva’s side in the table.

Jordan Pickford – 6
Could not do much more with the Fulham goal. Dealt with everything else that came his way.
Jake O’Brien – 5
Retaining the right-back spot over Nathan Patterson, Jake O’Brien almost made the perfect start after hitting the inside of the post with a header.
Sum that one up for us, Toffees! 🤩
What a second half that was from the Blues 👏

Not an amazing display for the Ireland international, but he did play a role in the winning goal.
MORE EVERTON STORIES
James Tarkowski – 4
Missed a golden opportunity to head Everton level and fluffed his lines. Not a good performance from the Everton veteran.
Michael Keane – 3
Completely fluffed his lines in trying to make a tackle in the lead up to Fulham’s opener.
Moyes said he was managing Jarrad Branthwaite’s minutes, but he may now need to consider starting him at centre-back.
Vitalii Mykolenko – 5
A miraculous clearance to deny what seemed a certain goal in the second half for Raul Jimenez.
A real mixed bag for the left-back, with an own-goal and a well-worked assist to his name.
James Garner – 5
Not James Garner’s finest display of the season. With Thomas Tuchel watching from the stands, the 24-year-old ended the game with a yellow card to his name.
Idrissa Gana Gueye – 5
Idrissa Gana Gueye simply is not offering Everton enough on the back of returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Perhaps it is time for Harrison Armstrong to play in the two-man midfield.
Iliman Ndiaye – 6
Looked bright when on the ball. Put a few good crosses into the box without anyone getting on to the end of them.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 8
Did not always have the end product, but it always looked like something was going to come from Dewsbury-Hall.
Harrison Armstrong – 5
Everton decided to keep Armstrong for the rest of the season, but questions will be asked over how he’s being used in the starting XI.
Armstrong clearly is not a winger despite starting the last two games out wide.
Thierno Barry – 4
Offered virtually nothing again. Could have found the back of the net, but he was a yard behind Dewsbury-Hall’s cross.
Everton need more from their striker.
Substitutes
Beto – 5
Tyrique George – 7
Instantly provided Everton with something fresh. Tyrique George has impressed in Everton training and looks like a player who should have started the game.
Jarrad Branthwaite – N/A
