EVERTON (2) vs (0) BURNLEY - FULL TIME

Everton starts without their prolific goal scorer Saha, but Yak comes in as his replacement. On the bench, Neville sits together with largely a bunch of youngsters. It's a rather frustrating match as both sides have their fair share of chances. But Everton just don't seem to have the finishing touch.

At this point in time, we actually need two strikers to give us that extra edge, but looking at the bench, Moyes will dread putting Vaughny on as he will definitely run himself to the ground but also, he might just get himself sent off with his over-exuberance, or he will injure his fragile self.

The match goes into half time with Everton's fans hoping that the team can dig in deep and conjure up a goal from somewhere.

Free kick in the 53rd minute, what can Everton do? Heitinga is on target but saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Another free kick in the 56th minute and what happens? Bainsey banged it straight into the wall.

Everton nearly, nearly conceded a goal san for the ball ricoheting off the left upright in the 59th minute. Timmy's injured and now joins the walking wounded. Neville comes in after months of being in the treatment room.

Here's Everton's chance in the 62nd minute with Burnley losing a man for two yellow cards received. Brilliant header by Yak in the 64th minute only to be tipped away by the opposing goalkeeper. Now it's the time to bring in Vaughny.

Another free kick in the 70th minute. Score now and off we go! C'mon! Pienaar needs to take it but instead Bainsey took it and struck the wall once again. Bring in Coleman, bring in anyone!!! Time's running out. Vaughany replaces Bily in the 81st minute.

What a return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! James Vaughan scores in the 82nd minute. Nice low cross by Felli and Vaughany just needed to tap the ball into the net. Everton 1-0 Burnley. Assist, Felli.


A great great finish to a great game! Finally 2-0! Yak held back the entire defence, slid a lovely pass to Pienaar who came in from the blind side to score the second goal in the 91st minute.

Everton struggled throughout the match until one of Burnley's player got sent off. After that it was one way street.

Score: Everton 2-0 Burnley
Scorers: Vaughany, Pienaar
Assists: Felli, Yak
Subs: Neville, Vaughany
