Everton clashed heads with Fulham at Craven Cottage earlier this afternoon as they looked to earn a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Toffees made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 17th minute when Raul Jimenez got his name on the scoresheet. Vitaliy Mykolenko equalised for the visitors in the first half injury-time as the two teams went into the half-time interval with a 1-1 scoreline.
Michael Keane completed the turnaround for the Merseyside club in the 70th minute before Beto killed the game off just three minutes later. The contest ended with Everton securing an impressive 3-1 win away from home.
