In a much-anticipated Premier League match at Goodison Park, Everton faced Burnley in a tight contest that ended in a 1-0 victory for the hosts. In the first half, Everton took the lead before the half-time whistle: Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck the opponent's goal, giving his team a 1-0 lead. The goal came after a series of chances from both teams, but it was Calvert-Lewin who capitalised on his chance to put Everton ahead. Burnley tried to equalise in the second half but found it difficult.
Burnley's hopes were dented when, in the 67th minute, after a red card shown to D. O'Shea, they were left with a ten-man defence. Both teams made several substitutions in the final minutes of the game, with Everton bringing in experienced players such as Ashley Young and Beto to consolidate their lead and Burnley trying to shake things up with fresh players in an attempt to turn the tide. In the end Everton held on to a 1-0 lead, securing the three points at home and delighting their fans with a hard fought victory. The match was a testament to the competitive spirit of both teams, but it was Everton who emerged victorious on the day.
In the next round the rivals are waiting for such matches: Chelsea - Everton, Burnley - Brighton.
