At a glance

    Idrissa Gueye's second Premier League goal of the season opens scoring

    Michael Keane doubles Toffees' lead from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's corner

    Thierno Barry, James Tarkowski and Dewsbury-Hall all have goals disallowed for Everton

    Rodrigo Muniz denied by Jordan Pickford in Fulham's best chance

Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane got the goals as Everton ended a three-game winless run in the Premier League with victory against Fulham at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The first half looked set to end in frustration for David Moyes' team after Thierno Barry and James Tarkowski had efforts ruled out for offside, but Gueye slammed home a loose ball in stoppage time to give the Toffees a deserved lead.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall found the bottom corner early in the second half but became the third Everton player to be thwarted by the linesman's flag, after Barry strayed offside from Iliman Ndiaye's knock-down.

Fulham created little in the first half but improved later in the game, Rodrigo Muniz forcing Jordan Pickford into a smart save and Ndiaye producing an outstanding clearance to deny Brazilian Kevin from close range.

However, Everton clinched all three points when Michael Keane glanced Dewsbury-Hall's corner past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno with nine minutes remaining.

Everton remain in the bottom half but are just a point behind Crystal Palace in ninth, while Fulham sit one point above the relegation zone.

Everton analysis: Patience pays off for Toffees
Everton manager Moyes was somewhat vexed on the touchline by the time fourth official Ben Toner indicated six minutes of added time at the end of the first half, but his mood would soon improve.

His team had created by far the better opportunities against Marco Silva's side, but a combination of wayward finishing and the linesman's flag had kept the Cottagers on level terms.

Summer signing Barry, who retained his place in Moyes' starting line-up despite a glaring miss against Sunderland on Monday, is desperate for a first Premier League goal so would have been cursing his luck for having an effort chalked off after Ndiaye strayed offside from Gueye's low cross.

French striker Barry should have seized an earlier chance when he rose unmarked to meet Dewsbury-Hall's cross earlier in the half, sending his header high over the bar.

Defender Tarkowski, who had a close-range volley disallowed, was denied by the crossbar not long after that, but Fulham were unable to clear their lines and Gueye pounced to finally put the home side in front.

The second half would have been far more comfortable for Everton had Dewsbury-Hall's sweeping finish not been ruled out, but the Toffees needed Pickford and Ndiaye to preserve their narrow advantage with key interventions as Fulham began to commit more men forward.

Keane's late effort, which appeared to come off his shoulder, settled the home fans' nerves and earned Everton their first win since beating Crystal Palace over a month ago.

Fulham analysis: More away-day blues for Cottagers
Fulham's victory over Wolves last weekend was a third win from their latest four home league matches, but form away from Craven Cottage is giving serious cause for concern.

Only Wolves, who lost 3-0 at Chelsea on Saturday evening, have fared as badly as Silva's Fulham on their travels this season, both sides managing just one point from a possible 18.

Saturday's defeat means Fulham have lost five consecutive away league games under former Everton boss Silva for the second time, having previously done so between November 2023 and January 2024.

Other than making comfortable saves from Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez, home goalkeeper Pickford was untroubled in the first half as the visitors struggled to pose a threat.

Rodrigo Muniz forced Pickford into action within minutes of replacing Jimenez, but the Brazilian striker – without a goal since the opening day of the season – was withdrawn 17 minutes later as Silva opted to introduce Adama Traore for the final stages.

Ndiaye's last-ditch clearance denied Kevin a clear sight of goal midway through the second half, but that was the closest Fulham came to getting level before Keane's late effort effectively ended their hopes of a point.

What's next for these teams?
Everton travel to Manchester United on Monday, 24 November (20:00 GMT) in their first game after the international break, while Fulham welcome Sunderland to Craven Cottage on Saturday, 22 November (15:00 GMT).

Post-Everton Press Conference
Marco Silva says he is dissapointed with Fulham's performance in Saturday's defeat to Everton.

The Whites faced a tough battle against an abrasive Everton side, resulting in a 2-0 defeat in the North West.

The game seemed to be all Everton with Marco describing Fulham's contribution to the 90 minutes as 'small spells'.

"We got what we deserved. We played 20 minutes in the whole game. What we should have done and what we planned to do were there but in small spells during the first-half. We made an impact in the second-half, for 20 minutes we were completely in control, that was the spell where we played like we should have played throughout the game."

"In my opinion, we didn't handle at all the physicality of the Everton side."

Marco goes on to explain how Everton's physicality led to chances: "You can see throughout the game all the chances, even the disallowed goals they created, they came off from second actions after a set piece, long throw, corners, wide freekicks. All these moments came from that moment."

"You have to insert some type of tool that the Premier League demands of you, simple as that. Same teams they play in one way, other teams they play in the other, and you have to be able to handle because what is more disappointing for us, for all of us, should be we are losing and winning games away from home (no consistency)."

"Our away form this season so far has not been at the level that it was the last three seasons. This season is completely different. We have to change it."

"We have always been very competitive. This season, we've had some injury problems, like we had again this afternoon. But we have been very competitive always throughout the games."

"It was not the case this afternoon. In my opinion, we can lose football matches because the other team is better than you but we cannot lose because of physicality. This is what disappoints me more, because at this level, this is non-negotiable."

Marco Silva brought Rodrigo Muniz on in the 59th minute, but the forward was taken off just 15 minutes later as a precaution after feeling something in his leg: "bad news for us when a player comes in that we have to take off after 10/15 minutes, it's not a good sign. It's been difficult in that position, Raúl, as you know, is not at his best at the moment (recovering from injury) it's not easy for him to reach these levels of intensity. I don't remember one full training session from him in the last 15 days."

"And, of course, after Rodrigo came on, he had a good impact in the game and then he felt something again in the same leg, same area of the hamstring. It looks like not good news for us. It was 50/50, it was precaution.

"But of course, after that moment, it was more difficult for us. Even with Adama Traore (coming on for Rodrigo), of course he can play as a striker but it is more difficult to create chances with the ball."

Defeat at Everton continues Fulham's poor run
Fulham suffered a fifth defeat in six Premier League matches.

Idrissa Gueye's goal in first-half stoppage time and Michael Keane's late header gave Everton the points.

For the opener, James Tarkowski's header from Vitalii Mykolenko's cross hit the bar, Fulham were unable to clear the loose ball and Gueye bundled it in from close range.

Everton had dominated the half, with Thierno Barry and Tarkowski both having goals disallowed for offside.

The hosts had another goal ruled out for offside early in the second half, this time after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had found the net.

Rodrigo Muniz had a chance to equalise just after coming on as a substitute but was denied by keeper Jordan Pickford.

It proved to be a key save, as Keane sealed Everton's win by heading home Dewsbury-Hall's ball in from the right.
Fulham: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Berge, Lukic (King 46), Wilson (Chukwueze 58), Iwobi, Kevin (Smith Rowe 87), Jimenez, (Muniz 58 ) (Traore 75)
Subs not used: Lecomte, Castagne, Cuenca, Cairney

Everton defeat Fulham in sorry Merseyside return for Silva
Goals in either half from Gueye and Keane give hosts 2-0 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium

After the sweet taste of a much-needed victory last weekend, Everton have brought our season back down to reality with a solid 2-0 win over us in our first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Fulham's poor form away from home continued with a deeply disappointing outing this afternoon, and whilst no one imagined the season would correct itself on the basis of one result it is a rubbish feeling to have the clouds circling the club going into the international break. With long periods of rotten football, fortuitous decisions keeping us from a heavier scoreline and even more injuries to add to the list, all is not well for Marco Silva at this moment in time...

First Half
The first half could be characterised as two periods of intense pressure from Everton, separated by a lull through the middle passage of the match. Everton didn't take long to let Fulham know they'd be a sterner challenge than Wolves, pressing aggressively and sending Grealish and Ndiaye down the wings to feed a flurry of balls into the box. We spent the opening minutes treading water, and but for Thierno Barry's continued struggles in front of goal would have opened early on. A cross from Dewsbury-Hall, overlapping ahead of Grealish on the left, saw Barry sneak ahead of Bassey but fumble his touch for Leno to claim. A second ball from Dewsbury-Hall, smartly fed through the centre by the playmaker, needed a swift intervention from Sessegnon to deny an easy chance, and from Ndiaye's powerful cross from the right Barry's header flew straight over the bar.

These early offensives did subside, perhaps Everton catching their breath from their rapid start, and Fulham were able to get on the ball a little more, but to little avail. Everton's defence were well drilled - Garner made up for his pace deficit against Kevin with some tight marking, Jimenez was swallowed up by Tarkowski and Keane and Wilson couldn't get into the game at all. Iwobi, starting ahead of King and Smith-Rowe, was dragged deeper trying to create something for Fulham, but this increased the work the forwards had to do to take the ball forward themselves. Our chances were mediocre. Iwobi headed a decent ball from Tete into the ground for Pickford to make a comfortable save, he set up a weak Jimenez effort from just outside the box a little later, and from a free-kick won essentially because Barry decided to pull Tete's shirt for no reason Jimenez blasted a set-piece straight into the unfortunately placed Nigerian international.

If anything, Fulham's movements into Everton territory increased their potency in the game. Iroegbunam and Gueye covered a lot of ground and helped the hosts move the ball fluidly - contrasted with Berge and Lukic's ponderous play, they were critical in livening the pace of the game. We conceded several set-pieces through Everton's attackers taking the ball forward, with Tete having a fierce contest with Grealish and Barry dragging players out of defence by using his physical strength to hold up the ball. Dewsbury-Hall was graceful on the ball, gliding through Fulham players and linking with his teammates in dangerous combinations - on another day, he might have got Lukic sent off, as the Serbian hauled him down twice on the break and only received a single booking.

It turbo-charged the atmosphere, as did other decisions taken against Everton. They'd put the ball in the net already - Grealish taking a long goal-kick from Pickford and working it nicely with Dewsbury-Hall, before Ndiaye on the other wing fired a ball behind our backline for Barry to bungle in - but an offside for the Senegalese denied them a goal. They had another chalked off right after Lukic's non-dismissal; again Grealish's work on the left produced a cross, flicked on by Tarkowski, played back from Ndiaye for Garner, whipped in by the right-back for Keane's header to be punched away by Leno and volleyed beyond Leno by Tarkowski. Yet the centre-back was marginally offside in the build up, and again the goal was denied.

You'd think we'd learn from these let-offs, and at least apply a bit of graft to get through to halftime level with Everton. But the team were clearly unnerved by Everton's growing danger. In the midst of a lengthy stoppage time, after pointless tussle between Bassey and Tarkowski saw them both booked, a Mykolenko long-throw wasn't cleared properly, Everton again worked the ball around faster than our players were able to intercept, and after Grealish and Iroegbunam worked the ball back to the Ukrainian his cross looped for Tarkowski to head onto the bar, fell for Iroegbunam, who stumbled into the ball and kicked his effort into Andersen, and finally fell for Gueye, sweeping into the box to plant his shot in, Leno's outstretched leg not enough to divert it away. Appalling defending, horrible timing, and as Kevin's effort a moment later flew into the stands the half drew to a close with Everton in the ascendency.

Second Half
We've been behind at the break many times this season, and on several of them Silva's changes have made the desired impact, revitalising our performances and delivering goals for Fulham. Lukic's booking made him the obvious substitution, and to every Fulham fans' delight King strode onto the pitch following the interval. His energy made a marked difference, having the bravery to take on Everton's defenders, putting gusto into Fulham's attacks and linking with his teammates in a way that actually allowed them to force defenders to react with some trepidation. Early combinations with Wilson on the right gave us some real excitement, on one occasion producing a shot that deflected off Mykolenko and looped just over the bar.

Yet we still weren't learning the lessons of the first half. Everton's route to goal consistently came from the wings, and a long ball from Mykolenko saw them punish us again - Ndiaye, away from Sessegnon, played the ball into the six-yard box, Berge fumbled the ball away from goal, and hesitation from Sess and Kevin let Dewsbury-Hall storm into position, angle his body and drive a shot through the crowd and into the vacant far-corner of the goal. Once again, offside saved us, though with a significant portion of good fortune - Barry, the man penalised, was pushed by Berge as he made his clearance and can scarcely be described as interfering with the play.

Perhaps sensing the danger, Silva played more of his cards - Muniz and Chukwueze, impressive off the bench against Wolves, arrived for Jimenez and Wilson. It gave King even more elements to work with - a long ball from Tete was chested down by Muniz, and another dribble from King allowed a smart one-two to be played, feeding the ball to the Brazilian as he travelled into the box. Pickford produced a smart save with his feet to prevent the equaliser. We were enjoying a little more space, created by the extra speed our attacking changes had made, and a timely intervention from a backtracking Ndiaye prevented Kevin latching onto a long pass right in front of goal.

It was starting to work, too. Iroegbunam, so effective in the first half, began to falter, losing ground and the ball, and getting cautioned for felling King around the hour-mark. Moyes made his own change to fix the problem - Rohl, a versatile midfielder, arrived, and had a calming effect on Everton in the middle, getting them back on the ball and inverting the focus of the game onto Fulham's half. Iwobi had moved closer to Berge to accommodate King, which is a great move for attacking situations, but with Everton able to put the game back into their own court the fragility of leaving Berge to absorb the bulk of the pressure in front of the backline revealed itself.

Frustratingly though our energy wasn't sustained whatsoever. We had fresh legs on the pitch and the players to make a difference, yet Everton were outmuscling us, keeping the ball in our half with another period of pressure and forcing us into mistakes in possession. Though their finishing wasn't terrific, Gueye and Dewsbury-Hall both firing shots off-target from outside the box, the momentum was theirs, and we weren't showing the reaction to repel them. Our day soured further when Muniz, introduced in the half, trudged down the tunnel injured, and very-much-not-a-striker Adama Traore took his place. We had now lost our target man, a clear method of quickly evading Everton's pressing, and struggled to get close to their goal.

And of course, our defending was still dreadful. From a relatively tame situation a poor defensive header from Bassey led to Everton winning the ball cheaply and dispatching Beto down the right channel. Sess put it out for a corner, Dewsbury-Hall swung the ball in and Michael Keane's shoulder met the cross, looping the ball over Leno to double their lead. It effectively killed the game for us, too. Whilst there was still time for Fulham to mount a comeback, the reality was we were out of ideas; our forwards congregated around Everton's defence hoping for the chance to break for them, but only Traore received one that came close, getting a smart pass from Berge and forcing Pickford to make a save. Our failure to muster up anything with the ball made the closing minutes all the more painful - a jubilant Everton sailed towards their three points, happy to interrupt our sloppy play and eat up time with speculative efforts. Truly, the final whistle was a blessing, as our team were put out of their misery.

Excellent Everton
Our hosts were clearly the better side today and were a few close calls away from a thrashing. Moyes, to his credit, has crafted a strategy that clearly causes problems for defenders at their new stadium, using Grealish and Ndiaye to unsettle our fullbacks, and for as frustrating as it must be watching Barry fumble his shooting boots the work he does to create space for the dynamic Dewsbury-Hall makes the Englishman all the more effective. Barry needs to do the work to improve his sharpness in front of goal, but if he does Everton will be a very cogent attacking team, and surely add to their scoring tallies.

The major difference was at the back though. Tarkowski and Keane have formed a reliable partnership, excelling in the raw physical responsibilities of defending in a way many centre-backs fail to manage. Bassey has frequently struggled to get a grip of tight situations - watch how forwards are denied space and time on the ball by Tarkowski to view what defenders need to get right to give their team the best chance. Garner worked tirelessly at right-back, unpiecing many of Kevin's moves down our left, and whilst Mykolenko was the weaklink of the four the ground Gueye covered across the match lessened the danger Everton faced in such situations. Pickford was very good too - whilst I would never be too critical of Leno, the England No. 1's saves kept Everton in the league for several seasons in a row, and with a functioning team in front of him he can enjoy clean sheets like today more frequently.

More problems for Silva
The context, of course, is that they were playing us today. A number of our defeats have come through some form of misfortune - a number of strong performances let down by obvious mistakes, matches where finishing our chances would have put the opposition out of sight and we can even point to games changed by the decision of an official. There's none of that today - Everton were clearly stronger than us across the game, could have won by four or five goals and made us look like a timid newly-promoted team, rather than a club in its fourth consecutive year of Premier League football.

The international break does have some advantages; there are clearly some tired legs out there. Jimenez has needed a break for some time, and was a peripheral figure for the entire afternoon, yet will likely be asked to deputise for Muniz again when the team reconverges in a fortnight. Wilson fell away from the pace of the game and ought to have done more against Mykolenko over the course of the game. Iwobi, our ever-present man, is asked to do everything - he's versatile and endurant, but covering for Lukic in midfield took it out of him today, and probably contributed to Everton's control in the latter stages of the match. On the same topic, whilst Berge and Lukic have their qualities and can absorb pressure when fully-fit, the duo were lacking for pace yet again in midfield and made to look second-rate by Everton's midfielders. It's a conundrum for Silva to solve - if he won't play Harrison Reed, which pairing will support the defence and use the ball in a productive manner?

Looking further back is a mixed bag. I think Tete fought valiantly against Grealish and continues to excel as our best defender this season. Sessegnon on the other wing had some decent moments and definitely deserves plaudits for his continued efforts covering at left-back, but he gets caught out in a few critical moments each game and teams are starting to exploit it more. Andersen took a knock in the first-half and looked a bit off his game for the rest of the match, but Bassey was all over the place again - sloppy on the ball and asleep to the danger he found himself in constantly. Whilst it can't be enviable being a centre-back in a team with a malfunctioning pair of CMs, you can't play as languidly as he did and expect opponents not to capitalise on it. Leno might also deserve some scrutiny too, but it feels unfair to single him out when so much went wrong in front of him.

Where do we go from here? Things are not healthy at the club at the moment. It would be tempting to say the standard of the league improving has concentrated several tricky fixtures in a row for us at the start of this season... but I'd reject that argument somewhat, because it's week 11, we're on a paltry 11 points teetering above the relegation zone, we haven't matched the increase in attainment the newly promoted sides have brought to the division and we're slumping right as teams like West Ham are addressing their early-season blues. You won't read me jumping to extremes - Marco Silva is still the right man to lead this club, and his work with us is key to why we're even in the league in the first place - but clearly something needs to be done with the squad, as there is a real danger of drifting further into troubled waters and fully into the relegation battle. It's not a crisis yet - let's not forget that we are only just entering November - but without action, our situation has every chance of turning drastic, especially in the unpredictable world of the Premier League. Let's trust that Silva can turn our stronger performers, like the continually exciting Josh King, into leaders for the team, and build off their aptitude to reverse this sorry state of affairs.

Silva looks broken at Fulham after slamming players for doing something they 'never' should
Marco Silva looked broken in his post-match press conference, wearily corroborating the claim from opposition manager David Moyes that Fulham had enjoyed roughly 20 minutes of control in an otherwise crushing visit to Everton.

He lamented how his Fulham side traditionally prides itself on being "competitive", a quality borne out in how unlike almost every other team outside the elite – and many within it – the Cottagers' games are rarely decided by more than two clear goals.

The last such occasion was 350 days and 37 games ago. The count might have been reset were it not for the three goals Everton had disallowed for offside at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Each were fair calls but that was hardly the point; the defending from Fulham was diabolical and Everton's players straying slightly too far having sensed a wounded animal was far more fortune than it was part of any grand plan.

Silva bemoaned how his players "didn't handle at all the physicality", adding:

    "You can lose football matches because the other team is better than you, but you cannot lose football matches because of the physicality of a football match. Never. You have to reach certain standards."

Fulham, far too often this season, have failed to do so. Their away form is catastrophically poor – somehow worse than the managerless Wolves side against whom they recorded the one win in their last seven games.

And Silva seems to have no answer, admittedly hamstrung by a sub-optimal summer of recruitment but equally culpable of finding no solutions to myriad problems beyond perennially reappropriating Alex Iwobi.

A phenomenally gifted and intelligent player though he is, in such a fragmented, predictable and one-dimensional structure it cannot possibly work against a level of competence anywhere above that of the worst team in the league. No one individual on the pitch can overcome such systemic issues simply by being played in a different position, or be the panacea for all collective shortcomings.

Silva was right to call out his players for their work off the ball in particular – some ought to be ashamed that the manager commended 18-year-old Josh King for his ability to "handle the physicality" of his 19th Premier League game when other far more experienced heads failed to – and point out that "we got what we deserved".

But it ultimately falls on the manager to right many of the wrongs that have crept into Fulham's performances this season. His future has hung over the club like a dark cloud and it is time to find the Silva lining.

Fulham fear Muniz faces another injury lay-off
Fulham fear Rodrigo Muniz has badly aggravated a hamstring problem he has been struggling with for some time.

The Whites striker had to go off during the 2-0 defeat at Everton after being sent on as a second-half substitute.

He had a great chance to equalise during his time on the pitch but could not find a way past keeper Jordan Pickford.

And the sight of Muniz limping off was a worrying one for Fulham, who have been plagued by injuries so far this season.

"Bad news, probably, for us. When you have to take a player off after 10 or 15 minutes it is not a good sign," said boss Marco Silva.

"It's clear that he's not at his best at all. Almost every single day of the week he's not training. I don't remember one full session from him in the last 15 days, probably, and it's not been easy for him to reach these type of intensity levels.

"He came on and had an impact, had a great chance to equalse, and he felt something in the same leg and same area of the hamstring.

"It looks like not good news for us. Let's see in the next few hours to analyse him."

The loss was Fulham's fifth in their past six Premier League matches.

Idrissa Gueye's goal in first-half stoppage time and Michael Keane's late header gave Everton the points.

"Disappointing result for us. More than the result, a disappointing performance. We got what we deserved from the game, definitely," Silva admitted.

Everton 2-0 Fulham: Cottagers swept aside as Toffees make light of toothless attack
Marco Silva's side were comfortably second best on Merseyside

Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane supplemented Everton's misfiring attack in a 2-0 win which extended Fulham's woes on the road to a fifth successive match.

With the Toffees' two strikers Beto and Thierno Barry scoring just one Premier League goal between them so far this season, there is an imperative for others to chip in.

But in a team boasting the attacking talents of Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall it was their defensive midfielder and centre-back who made the difference.

The two teams had scored just 22 between them in 20 combined Premier League matches so the first goal was important and Gueye's intervention, in the fourth minute of first-half added time, was even more crucial as an offside flag denied Everton on three occasions in a match they should have won more comfortably.

Gueye stabbed home his second of the campaign after Tim Iroegbunam had completely fluffed his shot in front of goal from a James Tarkowski header which rebounded off the crossbar.

After failing to score at all last season, Gueye is well on his way to beat his best return of four in an Everton shirt from 2023-24.

Keane flicked home a Dewsbury-Hall corner with 10 minutes to go to banish any late anxiety.

They were contributions gratefully received by boss David Moyes, whose side ended a run of one win in eight matches in all competitions.

Moyes gave a vote of confidence to Barry, starting back-to-back league matches for the first time, after his glaring miss at Sunderland on Monday.

The 23-year-old's pace and movement continue to offer potential but, unfortunately, he does not yet look like he has the physicality required for a top-flight striker.

After sending a seventh-minute header high and wide he thought he had ended his wait for a first goal when Ndiaye flicked on a Gueye cross for him to convert at the far post but the first offside flag dashed his hopes.

Dewsbury-Hall was Everton's brightest attacking prospect although he, too, could not unlock the Cottagers - but it seemed a set-piece might when Tarkowski volleyed home after Keane's header was parried, only for the flag to go up again.

Sasa Lukic, lucky to escape a second caution for the repeat offence of hauling down Dewsbury-Hall, was replaced by Josh King for the second half but it made little difference with Dewsbury-Hall the third to have a goal chalked off for offside.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford stuck out a foot to deny substitute Rodrigo Muniz, who was replaced himself just 17 minutes after coming on, in a rare Fulham chance before Keane wrapped things up to leave the visitors just a point above the bottom three.
