The Toffees are officially back in the hunt for Europe! On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, David Moyes’ side ended their three-month wait for a Premier League win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with a clinical 2–0 victory over Burnley.
It was a night of "home comforts" for Everton, who dominated from start to finish to move within just two points of the Top 6. For Scott Parker’s Burnley, the result leaves them 19th and eight points adrift of safety, staring down the barrel of an immediate return to the Championship.

Key Takeaways: The Moyes Evolution .
The Tarkowski Curse: Former Claret James Tarkowski silenced the away end with a powerful header, marking his first Premier League goal in over a year.
Dewsbury-Hall Dominance: With his sixth goal of the season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has now doubled his scoring tally from his previous three Premier League campaigns combined. He is quickly becoming the heartbeat of Moyes’ midfield.
Pass Masters: Everton completed 505 passes tonight—their highest figure in a Premier League game in over three years. The "long ball" reputation is officially a thing of the past.
Burnley’s Bluntness: The Clarets managed just one shot on target all evening (in the 79th minute). Scott Parker’s side has now won just once in their last 20 league games, with fans audibly frustrated at the final whistle.
The Verdict: This was the most "balanced" Everton performance of the season. With James Garner’s delivery and Iliman Ndiaye’s creativity, they finally look like a team capable of breaking down low blocks.
