It sent them down into the bottom three of the table and deliver a huge task to get them out of danger.

However, Everton have been excellent on the pitch since then and have now won in the league for the fourth consecutive match.

Amadou Onana headed in their opener against Burnley from a corner before Michael Keane netted against his former club to make it two.

Everton's win also saw them keep their fourth clean sheet in as many games, with Sean Dyche working wonders at the club.
