Everton produced a thumping performance against Chelsea, and David Moyes hailed striker Beto.
The Toffees have moved up to seventh in the table after a superb victory over the Blues at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton fans, who was your standout performer in the 3-0 win over Chelsea?
So many unbelievable Toffees performers at HDS!
The 3-0 win was richly deserved, with Everton superior all over the field.
Chelsea were blown away, and simply could not deal with the home side’s energy and pressing.
And it was a brilliant night for Beto, who grabbed another chance handed to him by the manager with both hands.
And after the game, David Moyes was asked about the Guinea-Bissau international, and gave a rather sweet verdict.

Moyes said: “I think he’s earned it a little bit from his work. I’ve always said, he never complains, he gets his head down. He’s an incredibly humble boy.

“He’s last off the training ground just about every day, he wants more, he wants people to try and improve him.
“I think when you’ve got players like that, you’ve always got a little bit of a chance. Sometimes, when you work that hard you get a bit of luck, things go for you. He’s making his own luck and making his good fortune, because he’s working so hard for it.”
Beto truly was outstanding against Chelsea.
The 28-year-old was bang at it from minute one, and almost pressed Robert Sanchez into a mistake.
He took his first goal brilliantly, and then doubled his tally in the second half, his shot too hot for Sanchez to handle.

He also supplied an assist for Iliman Ndiaye, winning the ball in the air for a flick on to the Senegalese star.
Beto – who became the first player to score a brace at Hill Dickinson Stadium – has had his critics at Everton.
And he’ll probably still have them going forward.
But one thing you can never ever question him over is his desire and commitment to the cause.
He may not be prolific, but he can have games where it just completely clicks for him, and Chelsea found him an absolute menace tonight.
