Everton secured themselves another impressive result on the weekend with victory away to Nottingham Forest.

David Moyes has transformed this side since taking over in January and some of the results on the road have been excellent.

Forest have been flying in the Premier League this season, but Abdoulaye Doucoure sealed the points with a last-gasp goal in front of the traveling fans.

After the game, Doucoure admitted he wants to stay at Everton beyond his contract ending at the conclusion of the season.

Whether that happens or not is another matter, but the Toffees will certainly be enjoying their points they took back to Merseyside.

It was a big result for Everton in beating the side that sat third in the Premier League table and Moyes pulled off a real masterclass in the dying minutes.

Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry hail Everton tactics against Nottingham Forest

Dwight McNeil was hailed by Everton fans after he stole the ball from Murillo and set Doucoure on his way to scoring the winner.

But this was no snatch and grab, the Toffees were full value for the points after another impressive outing under the 61-year-old.

Speaking on Monday Night Football, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry broke down the winning goal as Everton overloaded Forest who were trying to win the game themselves.

“Before he [Murillo] miscontrols it, Nuno’s already pointing at this situation [Doucoure unmarked]. He can see it before it happens, he’s not reacting to the mistake,” said Carragher.

“If you’re 1-0 down, everyone would have understood that Forest put bodies forward, but it’s 0-0. At that particular moment, Morgan Gibbs-White has to come inside,” added Henry.

“You can see Nuno [furious], but it’s brilliant from Everton, Doucoure counter-attack goal, I mean, what a job David Moyes has done,” Carragher finished the analysis.

The irony lies in the fact Carragher predicted Forest to beat Everton by a 1-0 scoreline earlier in the week.

Everton will now go into the third-from-last game at Goodison Park this weekend against a Manchester City side showing signs of life once again.

Sean Dyche would have had all 11 Everton players defending

Under Moyes, Everton have shown some big signs of improvement with the the Toffees only losing twice since January in the Premier League under him.

There have been a lot of draws mixed in with those results, but Moyes has shown a lot of improvement.

Sean Dyche has been slammed following his Everton sacking after Moyes has unearthed a number of his issues.

It did not take long for Moyes to surpass the three wins Dyche had managed all season on Merseyside.

And coming up against a side third in the league, Dyche would have likely brought on defensive reinforcements late in the game to secure a point.

Instead, Moyes made those changes and brought the likes of Beto and McNeil on who played a big role in the winning goal.
