Everton defeated Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening in what was a superb away performance.
Jack Grealish stole the headlines with his winning goal, but there were a number of standout performances elsewhere.
Tim Iroegbunam was everywhere and won a whopping 10 duels, more than any other Everton player on the pitch.
Carlos Alcaraz also received a glowing verdict and evinced exactly why he should’ve started a lot more games this season.
David Moyes was also full of praise for one of his own records as he gave a Jose Mourinho-esque line after the game.

David Moyes boasts about Everton record after Bournemouth win
Speaking to the media post-match, Moyes was visibly delighted with the historic win and was proud to boast about his away record.
It’s unusual for Moyes to praise himself as he’s often rather modest and noble in victory, but today he took the Mourinho approach and rightfully so.
The Everton manager actually got his own statistics wrong, as no side in the Premier League have won more away games since he returned in January.
The Toffees have an equal number of away wins with the league leaders Arsenal, which is mightily impressive.
| # | TEAM | P | W | D | L | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arsenal | 15 | 8 | 6 | 1 | 30 |
| 2 | Everton | 16 | 8 | 3 | 5 | 27 |
| 3 | Crystal Palace | 15 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 25 |
| 4 | Man City | 15 | 7 | 3 | 5 | 24 |
| 5 | Brighton | 16 | 7 | 3 | 6 | 24 |
| 6 | Brentford | 15 | 7 | 2 | 6 | 23 |
Jack Grealish delighted with Everton’s away form
Grealish was also keen to highlight just how good Everton have been away from home, speaking post-match.
“This season we have done really well. We won away at Wolves, won at United last week, won tonight , so I feel like we are in a good moment,” the Everton talisman explained.
“Obviously we got pumped by Newcastle at the weekend but we have won three of the last four and we are on a good run. We have another tough game on Saturday and hopefully we can go and take some points.”
Grealish continued: “It’s the first time ever Everton have won here so it is good to be part of that and to score the goal that did it. Hopefully we can keep creating moments like that. We are in the top half of the table now for the first time in a while so hopefully we can keep pushing. You never know what’s going to happen.”
Everton are back in action on Saturday afternoon, as they play host to Nottingham Forest at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Another win could take them into the top six.
