Turf Moor has witnessed this template of victory by a Sean Dyche team dozens of times but unfortunately for Burnley he is not their manager any more. Everton were organised, physically dominant and enjoyed goals from players well over 6ft tall to secure a fourth straight victory without conceding. It puts them seven points clear of the relegation zone, despite their 10-point deduction.
Amadou Onana and Michael Keane settled the result on a night of nostalgia for Burnley fans, but it was never in doubt as Everton provided 90 minutes of knowhow and effective football, while Burnley’s naivety was laid bare by the man with a pub named after him around the corner.
