Overview
- Everton defeated Fulham 2-0 with goals from Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane after three earlier efforts were ruled offside.
- Thierno Barry started back-to-back league matches for the first time since his £27m move and earned a warm ovation when substituted late on.
- Barry remains without a goal for Everton, and a first-half finish against Fulham was disallowed for offside.
- Moyes praised Barry’s intensity and link-up play but reiterated that recent bookings have forced earlier withdrawals to avoid the risk of a red card.
- Everton’s staff have addressed discipline with Barry as Moyes continues rotating his strikers, who had only one league goal between them over the opening 10 matches.
