Everton picked up a mammoth three points away at Fulham on Saturday afternoon to close the gap on the European spots.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall earned most of the plaudits as he inspired the comeback at Craven Cottage, netting the equaliser and then delivering a brilliant corner which resulted in an own goal.
James Garner also impressed in the capital and is continuing to make a statement to England manager Thomas Tuchel.
Sum that one up for us, Toffees! 🤩

Victory lifts Everton up to eighth in the Premier League table, just two points behind Merseyside rivals Liverpool in sixth.
So, there are plenty of positives, although there was one disappointing revelation that emerged from yesterday’s game.

Adam Aznou wasn’t in Everton’s squad vs Fulham
Since joining from Bayern Munich in the summer, Adam Aznou has barely had a sniff of first-team football.

Aznou is still awaiting his Premier League debut, although it doesn’t look like it’s going to come any time soon.
Despite Aznou’s impressive debut against Sunderland in the FA Cup last month, Moyes is now leaving him out of the squad completely.
The 19-year-old hasn’t even made the bench in the last two league games, so that’s really disappointing to see.
Moyes has demanded for Aznou to improve physically, and it’s understood that the Barcelona youth product has been working hard in the gym at Finch Farm this season.
Can you remember who the last player to do this for Everton was? 🤔

David Moyes was open to sending Adam Aznou on loan in January
In the days leading up to the transfer deadline day, Moyes did admit that he would allow Aznou to depart on loan until the end of the season.
“There’s opportunities for him to go and we’ll decide that in the next few days,” Moyes admitted last month.
“I’m not sure that he would get the opportunities in the position we bought him to play, so I need to think how I can do it. At the moment we’re not really mad to let too many people go because our squad isn’t big enough.
“But sometimes players want to go and play and I’m all for that if that’s the case.”
Despite reported interest from France and Spain, nothing materialised, and now it seems as though the Morocco international is even further down the pecking order.
Even during Vitalii Mykolenko’s absences this season, Moyes has preferred to play Jarrad Branthwaite or James Garner in that role, out of their natural positions.
