Everton picked up their third successive victory on Saturday afternoon as they hammered relegation rivals Leicester City 4-0 at Goodison Park.
Everton have now moved nine points clear of the Foxes, who dropped into the relegation zone following Wolves’ shock win against Aston Villa.

David Moyes’ side look well-placed to retain their Premier League status in plenty of time, so the decision to sack Sean Dyche already looks vindicated.
Moyes is getting a tune out of a number of players who Dyche often left on the bench, with Beto a notable example.
After his brace yesterday, the former Udinese striker posted an emphatic three-word message on Instagram.

Beto posts cryptic three-word message after Leicester win
Beto took to Instagram after his two-goal performance yesterday and simply wrote: “No caption needed.”
Perhaps a little cryptic but clearly it meant a lot to him after a difficult season where he was often limited to cameo appearances under Dyche.
Beto has already netted more league goals under Moyes than he did in the entire season with the former Everton boss.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja set for a spell on the sidelines, it looks like Beto is going to get his long-awaited chance in the side.
The 26-year-old dedicated his goals to teammate Orel Mangala, who has recently suffered a season-ending injury.
Everton blocking Beto exit
It’s understood Everton are blocking Beto’s exit amid multiple bids from Serie A outfit Torino, who are desperate to land his signature.
It was previously reported that Beto told Moyes he wanted to leave Everton, but clearly that stance has changed over the last few days.
With the window slamming shut on Monday, it’s highly unlikely the Everton frontman will be going anywhere, especially with Evan Ferguson now about to join West Ham United.
