Hill Dickinson Stadium: Everton made it two wins from two on Tuesday evening, easing past Burnley with a comfortable 2-0 Premier League victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium.David Moyes had challenged his team to replicate their outstanding away performances at their new ground – and the Blues did just that, finding a first-half lead when James Tarkowski – skippering the side – powered home a header from a James Garner set piece on 32 minutes.
Despite a dominant half, Everton had to wait until the 60-minute mark for their second, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall cleverly finishing from a well-worked Everton move in which Dwight McNeil – terrific on the night – had been integral.
Former Clarets defender James Tarkowski came back to haunt his old club, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was also on target for the Toffees in a dominant performance, as David Moyes’ side claimed their first home win since 6 December 2025.
Tarkowski, who spent six-and-a-half years at Burnley, scored his first Premier League goal in over a year when he nodded home from James Garner’s cross in the 32nd minute.
Dewsbury-Hall rounded off a neat move on the hour mark to seal a victory that boosted the Toffees’ European hopes, with Idrissa Gueye going close to scoring a sensational third goal when he hit the crossbar.
“Dwight’s performance at Newcastle was very good. He built on that and took that into tonight’s game, and we’re seeing a much-improved Ili and Gana after they come back from the Africa Cup of Nations, and also Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall improving greatly because he’s just beginning to get back to where he was before the hamstring injury,” Everton boss David Moyes said.
