Everton thrash Leicester 4-0, as Moyes records bact-to-back PL victory

Everton enjoyed another weekend of new manager effect to record back-to-back-to-back victory in 4-0 trumping of Leicester City on Saturday.

The Toffees have now won three consecutive league matches under David Moyes, since April after an initial defeat on his return to the Merseyside club.

Abdoulaye Doucoure scored the fourth-fastest goal in Premier League history after just 10 seconds.

After a recount the goal was timed at 10.18 seconds, the fastest in Everton’s history.

However, about five minutes later James Tarkowski’s ball into the same inside-right channel was steered inside the same far post for Beto’s first league goal since October 26.

Beto, the Toffees’ only fit striker, then scored twice before the interval for the first time in his Goodison career to send a timely message he is ready to fill the void left by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s lengthy absence.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester side have lost eight of their last nine league matches since he was appointed on December 1.

However, Everton appeared a more better side with flowing football as Garner makes a huge difference with the right-side combination of winger Jesper Lindstrom and defender Jake O’Brien, who tapped home from a corner but was offside, continuing their recent progress.

Everton’s inside-right channel was being mined for all it was worth, with Garner linking up with Beto, who was sent tumbling to the turf by Jannik Vestergaard’s challenge deemed perfectly legal.

Garner had a shot tipped onto a post and Doucoure steered over from 10 yards, before the former capped a triumphant return with a brilliant pass in between Leicester’s centre-backs which Beto confidently stroked past Hermansen.

All the visitors offered in the first half was Victor Kristiansen’s rising drive from a corner and their late arrival after the interval suggested either a dressing room dressing down or general lethargy.

It appeared it was the latter as the visitors barely offered a threat and the anonymous Jamie Vardy was withdrawn after an hour.

Lindstrom’s last act was to shoot straight at the goalkeeper, with Ndiaye curling a shot just wide before adding the fourth against hapless opponents, who face Manchester United and Arsenal next, as the visiting fans directed their anger at the board.
