Everton vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Everton go four points clear of their opponents today with a tidy and controlled 2-0 victory here at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with goals from Gueye and Keane. The game as a whole was largely played in Everton’s favour, as they dominated key parts of proceedings. Fulham looked sheepish, only creating half-chances for themselves, which weren’t taken in the end. Everton had three goals disallowed throughout the course of the game, all three being chalked off for offside! There is one that they will feel especially aggrieved about, when Barry was caught offside, being pushed into a different position by Andersen, but not touching the ball before Dewsbury-Hall swept home. It didn’t matter in the end, however, as goals in the fourth minute of stoppage time from Gueye and in the 81st minute by Keane were enough to keep all three points on Merseyside. Gueye’s close-range effort made it 1-0, before Keane’s header at the front post following a corner, made it two. Everton created 1.40 xG throughout the game, whereas Fulham created a total of 0.40 xG, falling short of their opponents on that front aswell. Everton get back to winning ways, and for now, jump up a few places in the table as a result. Thank you for joining this live commentary. Goodbye!

FULHAM SUBS: Benjamin Lecomte, Timothy Castagne, Jorge Cuenca, Tom Cairney, Joshua King, Emile Smith Rowe, Rodrigo Muniz, Adama Traore, Samuel Chukwueze.

Dewsbury-Hall gets the assist after it was his corner that landed perfectly on Keane’s head, allowing the centre-back to direct the power onto the ball and into the goal.

Smith Rowe joins the action for the remaining few moments, and he replaces Kevin out on the left side. There probably isn’t enough time for him to make a real impact on this game.

FULL-TIME: EVERTON 2-0 FULHAM

Fulham look like a defeated team. They won last week against Wolves, but already, they are back to losing ways here, and the team as a whole needs to find a pick-me-up from somewhere; otherwise, they’re in trouble this season.

We’re into the final moments of this game now, and Everton is continuing to press on and hoping to rub salt into the already hurting Fulham wounds. They had a corner, but Garner’s cross was sent behind for another corner.

There will be SIX added minutes!

Dewsbury-Hall is the latest player taken off in this game, after an assist in this game for the second goal. He is replaced by O’Brien for a bit more defensive stability at the end of the game.

Andersen just about gets a toe on a low, searching cross to divert it behind for an Everton corner, but that was a close call! One wrong move there and the ball would’ve ended up in the back of his own net.
