Abdoulaye Doucouré’s opener just 10.18 seconds in set the tone, before a brace from Beto and Iliman Ndiaye’s late strike condemned us to defeat. It was a day to forget in our last-ever league visit to Goodison Park. This was the Toffees' third win in a row under David Moyes. With matches elsewhere still to be played this weekend, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men are currently 17th in the table on 17 points, just one clear of both Wolves and Ipswich Town.

Just over 10 seconds is how long it took Moyes’ hosts to take the lead. Jordan Pickford’s long ball forwards was allowed to bounce on the edge of the 18-yard box – as Doucouré charged through to power it past Mads Hermansen, back in the XI for the first time since 14 December. That was the fourth-quickest goal in Premier League history and the fastest-ever scored by a home team. Another direct ball up-field, this time from James Tarkowski, cut City open again on seven minutes. Beto was able to run onto it and, before long, he was one-on-one with Hermansen. The Goodison locals could hardly believe it, but the hosts were 2-0 up with over 80 minutes still to play. Although Leicester had a decent amount of the ball throughout the first half, Pickford wasn’t tested. The away side’s best chance came in the 25th minute when Victor Kristiansen arrowed narrowly over from 20 yards out. Everton had a spell of dominance before the break, too, as James Garner’s point-blank drive was tipped onto the near post by Hermansen. Doucouré also blazed Vitalii Mykolenko’s cross over the bar with a side-footed, first-time hit inside the box. It was 3-0 to the hosts, mind you, in stoppage time as Garner’s through ball was rolled into the net by Beto – ending a deeply frustrating 45 minutes for the Foxes in the North West.

The second half was uneventful for the most part. Everton now have nine clean sheets in the league and they showed why in the latter moments, keeping Leicester at arm’s length and limiting them to fleeting sights of goal. Jordan Ayew’s free-kick was straight at the wall, while substitute Patson Daka did test Pickford in the 73rd minute. Seconds later, with Everton on the counter, only a fine extended stop from Hermansen prevented Jesper Lindstrøm from adding a fourth. Ndiaye also curled inches wide in the home side’s next push forwards. Although Wout Faes also glanced an Ayew corner wide, there was no way through, nor a route back into the game for van Nistelrooy’s men. A mix-up at the back, meanwhile, handed Everton a 90th-minute fourth, Ndiaye slotting home after being left unattended in the penalty area. A one-week break from Premier League action will at least provide an opportunity to take stock and point our focus elsewhere, with a trip to Manchester United next up on Friday in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup. Arsenal are then the visitors to King Power Stadium a week later.
