It was an easy game for Eveton as they totally dominated this game. Fulham seemed like they have already ended their season.
Everton plays an unchanged side that drew 4-4 with Manchester United. Distin is asked to cover the left back position once again. The Everton faithful sees the return of AJ who was a favourite of Goodison Park. Former short-term loanee Sanderos also returns to the ground he once played at.
Everton won a free kick in the 5th minute after a clumsy challenge on Pienaar. Jelavic took the free kick and it was the softest penalty that Everton could have received. The Fulham used his arms to block the ball from hitting his face. The referee had no choice but to give the penalty.
Jelavic stood forward to take the penalty and scores. Another goal for Everton's prolific scorer. Everton 1-0 Fulham.
A lovely long pass sees Jelavic bringing down the ball with the outside of his foot, before slicing the ball towards goal. Off the post! Soon after, Everton won themselves a corner. Pienaar puts in a lovely corner and Felli, unmarked in the penalty box, planted a lovely header past a Fulham defender who was on the line. Everton 2-0 Fulham. Everton is cruising!
The passes Everton is putting in are really slick. But for about 10 minutes, Everton lost its way a little. Fulham so nearly score but Howard was equal to the task with a acrobatic backward palm to push the ball away from danger.
From a super counter, Everton scores!!! Pienaar saw a gap that he exploited with such aplomb. Jelavic still had much work to do as the keeper had pushed him far wide. Jelavic turned, pushed the ball foward before despatching the ball past the goalkeeper and a defender who was standing on the line at such a tight angle. Everton 3-0 Fulham, and all the goals coming before half time.
During half time, Moyes brought in Cahill for Gibson as the latter seemed to have injured himself. This means that Felli will be required to sit in deeper in midfield while Cahill pairs himself up with Jelavic. Seriously, I'd rather have Barkley.
Everton is slowly picking at Fulham. Lovely move between Cahill and Pienaar. Cahill started the move, put in a square pass to Pienaar who chipped the ball into the path of the running Cahill. The Australian ran past all the defenders and scored with his outstreched foot! Flag punching time! Everton 4-0 Fulham. Lovely assist by Pienaar.
Jelavic had another chance with his free kick. It was heading into the net but was punched away by the goalkeeper.
Everton boy wonder is back. Moyes brought Barkley is in for Felli in the 75th minute. Everton is carving out shot after shot. Both Pienaar and Ossie shots were on target. Only to be palmed away by the goalkeeper.
Final change - Magaye in for Pienaar. The South African has been intrumental in all four goals leaves the field for a well deserved rest.
Everton totally killed Fulham! Over to Liverpool to win their late game.
