Everton claimed a massive victory in their pursuit of European football as Chelsea capped a miserable seven days with a 3-0 defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Chelsea headed to Merseyside on the back of three straight losses, with humblings in both legs of their Champions League last-16 tie with holders Paris Saint-Germain coming either side of a frustrating 1-0 home reverse at the hands of Newcastle United.
Everton’s poor home form seemingly presented Chelsea with a chance to rediscover some positive momentum, but they were outplayed from the first minute as the Toffees moved within two points of Liam Rosenior’s sixth-placed side, who missed the chance to leapfrog both Liverpool and Aston Villa into fourth in the Premier League.
Beto’s superb 33rd-minute finish opened the scoring, before a goalkeeper error from Robert Sanchez enabled the Everton striker to double his tally.
Illiman Ndiaye had the final say with an outstanding curling effort after more excellent forward play from Beto, who left the pitch to a standing ovation after inspiring David Moyes’ men to a victory that will give Everton fans further reason to dream of a first European campaign since 2017-18.
