⚽ Valencia scores first Everton goal in win over Saints

Enner Valencia (centre) made a key impact after coming on as a substitute

Everton boss Ronald Koeman enjoyed a win over former club Southampton thanks to goals from Enner Valencia, Leighton Baines and Romelu Lukaku.

The match had lacked quality and chances until substitute Valencia scored his first goal for the club, driving in a shot from close range after Lukaku's header had been saved.

Valencia was also involved in the second goal as he won a penalty when he was fouled by Maya Yoshida.

Everton stay seventh, while ninth-placed Southampton lost a third Premier League game in succession.

Hull City 2-2 Everton Premier League Match Results and Highlights

⚽ Hull off bottom as Everton rescue late draw

Robert Snodgrass scored his sixth league goal of the season

Ross Barkley headed in a late equaliser for Everton against Hull, whose point was enough to move them off the bottom of the Premier League table.

The home side had taken the lead after just six minutes through captain Michael Dawson, who was unmarked inside the box and smashed in his third league goal of the season.

In response, Seamus Coleman headed against the post, before the Toffees levelled on the stroke of half-time as goalkeeper David Marshall punched the ball into his own from Kevin Mirallas's corner.

Marshall brilliantly tipped Romelu Lukaku's drive on to the crossbar in the second half, before Robert Snodgrass curled a free-kick into the top corner, having struck the bar from a similar situation just minutes before.

Extended Match Highlight

Hull remain in trouble

Manager Mike Phelan will feel the game was a missed opportunity to give Hull a lift towards their target of Premier League safety. The draw moves them up one place to 19th, but they are still three points away from moving out of the relegation zone.

Hull twice took the lead but their defensive vulnerabilities came to the fore in the closing stages as Barkley was allowed a free header for his goal.

It means the East Yorkshire side have now conceded 41 goals this season, a joint-league high alongside fellow strugglers Swansea.

They have also failed to keep a clean sheet at the KCOM Stadium this term and have collected just one win from their last 17 games.

With the January transfer window about to open, Phelan will be looking to bring in reinforcements, while also hoping to hold on the impressive Snodgrass.

Ageing Everton falter in defence

Ronald Koeman's side continued to show the inconsistency that has been a factor of their season.

They had won two out of their three matches before this game - yet before that, had picked up just one victory from 10 fixtures.

Like opponents Hull, they displayed defensive issues once again - Koeman's team have managed only four clean sheets in 19 Premier League matches under his leadership.

A centre-back will be on the list of priorities for the manager as Phil Jagielka, 34, looked to struggle at times.

The 35-year-old Gareth Barry - who came close with a drive in the first half - lasted 65 minutes, and it remains to be seen whether a transfer window move for Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin materialises.

Everton could have won it late on but substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed wide from a couple of yards out and the point leaves them in seventh, six points adrift of sixth-placed United, who host Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Man of the match - Robert Snodgrass (Hull)

The best player on the pitch provided a moment of brilliance with a superb free-kick. He provided 12 crosses for his team-mates, more than any other player.

What the managers said

Hull boss Mike Phelan, speaking to BBC Sport about almost losing at the end: "That's the nature of the beast. We play well and we get beat. I'm pleased. For three or four weeks we've put in a shift and got nothing. We could be greedy and ask for more but I'm proud of the players.

"Robert Snodgrass has shown his quality on his free-kicks this season. We need those things. The top league demands top players to score top goals.

"We need more goals from all areas. We need to tighten up. We have a lot of work to do. It's now a case of trying to bring people in and give us a chance going forward."

Everton boss Ronald Koeman told BBC Sport: "I'm really pleased tonight about our performance. I wasn't happy with our slow start but we showed a really good attitude and reaction twice.

"We played good football and created a lot of opportunities. We could have stopped the first goal but not the second. The team showed good spirit. We created maybe the most chances today."

What next?

Hull start 2017 when they travel to face West Brom in the league on 2 January (kick-off 15:00 GMT), while Everton host Southampton at the same time.

Everton 0-1 Liverpool EPL Match Results and Highlights (Mane wins derby for liverpool in injury time)

Sadio Mane celebrating his injury time goal for Liverpool (LFC)

Sadio Mane's goal deep into injury time sank Everton and settled a scrappy Merseyside derby in Liverpool's favour at Goodison Park.

The Reds' £34m summer signing from Southampton reacted first to a loose ball after substitute Daniel Sturridge's shot had hit the post in the fourth of eight minutes of stoppage time.

Everton, who had lost goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to injury in the second half, have now won just one of their past 20 meetings with their local rivals.

Liverpool - who moved up to second - created the better chances, with Stekelenburg and his replacement Joel Robles saving well from Roberto Firmino.

There was a flashpoint in the second half when a dreadful tackle by Ross Barkley on Jordan Henderson sparked angry scenes and the Everton midfielder was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card from referee Mike Dean.

Big win for Klopp and Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's celebrations at the final whistle carried an extra edge as Mane's late strike sealed three points they desperately needed to keep in touch with Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool are six points behind Antonio Conte's side and will surely take great satisfaction from digging out a vital victory that was based on grit rather than the flowing football that has been their trademark this season.

The hosts' high tempo start put the Reds on the back foot but as the game went on they exerted greater control and in the end deserved the win simply for looking the more dangerous side and creating the better chances.

And once again Sturridge proved how important he can be to Klopp and Liverpool's cause - despite being marginalised or injured for much of the season - with the run and shot that struck the post before Mane swooped to win the 227th Merseyside derby.

Liverpool needed to bounce back from the stumbles of a shock 4-3 defeat at Bournemouth and a home draw against West Ham United. They have done so in style with away wins at Middlesbrough and now Everton.

Match Highlights

Everton's wait goes on

Everton's record in Merseyside derbies has been a tale of almost unbroken misery since their last win, a 2-0 win against Roy Hodgson's Liverpool in October 2010.

There are, however, signs of improvement and they will feel unfortunate not to hold out here and concede so late on.

For the first 45 minutes they adhered to boss Ronald Koeman's demand for a high-intensity pressing game but ran out of steam after the break, not helped by the loss of James McCarthy to injury.

Substitute Gareth Barry may still possess the old guile, but sadly for him and Everton the legs are also ageing and he was miles off the pace - though his substitute appearance did take him second behind Ryan Giggs in the list of most Premier League games played.

Everton also failed to give sufficient support to main marksman Romelu Lukaku and Koeman will surely be looking to address this problem in the January transfer window.

There are signs that the Toffees are now moving in the right direction, despite suffering their first home Premier League defeat of the season - but Koeman still has much to do.

Barkley lucky not to see red

Barkley has been the centre of much attention this season, whether as the victim of tough love from Koeman or with transfer speculation as he enters the last 18 months of his contract.

Here he was centre of attention for different reasons after a late touchline lunge on his England team-mate Henderson in the second half that was somehow only punished with a yellow card.

It led to angry exchanges between the players, and Henderson and Barkley also clashed later, the latter wisely not rising to the Liverpool captain's bait.

Barkley's night was summed up by a wild cross into the Gwladys Street that brought a furious response from his manager.

These are tough times for the talented 23-year-old midfielder.

Man of the match - Ragnar Klavan (Liverpool)

The Liverpool defence quelled the threat of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, largely thanks to Ragnar Klavan's stewardship of the forward

What they said

Everton manager Ronald Koeman told BBC Sport: "We are really disappointed to concede in extra time. The eight minutes killed us.

"We have to wait to see about Maarten Stekelenburg's injury - we will know more tomorrow - and James McCarthy has a hamstring injury.

"I know exactly how fast Sadio Mane is, he reacted so well. We did not deserve to concede this goal.

"Maybe Ross Barkley was lucky, it was a hard tackle."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told BBC Sport: "I don't agree it was a poor first half. Maybe not the best football - you have to adapt to Everton's wild game. A game like this you have to interrupt their rhythm with passing.

"In the second half it was clear they couldn't do the same. We were better, we didn't give one chance away I think.

"The goal was not the hardest shot from Sturridge, but hard enough. It was a wonderful feeling.

"I don't like the flares too much. I'm a little bit scared about this. It was a long, long stoppage time. We gave them no chance."

On Barkley's tackle on Henderson: "I saw it one time. Everything is clear. I think the referee had a difficult game. Maybe Ross was really lucky and Henderson was really lucky."

What's up next?

Everton travel to champions Leicester City on 26 December (15:00 GMT kick-off), before a trip to Hull on 30 December (20:00). Liverpool host Stoke at 17:15 on 27 December and then welcome Manchester City to Anfield on 31 December (17:30).

Everton 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Results & Highlights (Everton winner ends Arsenal's unbeaten run)

Everton's Seamus Coleman scores the equaliser (Reuters)

Arsenal missed the chance to go top of the Premier League as Everton came from behind to secure a first victory since October.

The Gunners, who had won their previous three games, were rewarded for an impressive start as Alexis Sanchez's free-kick deflected in off Ashley Williams.

Everton equalised just before half-time when Seamus Coleman glanced home Leighton Baines' excellent cross.

The Toffees, encouraged by a vocal crowd, dominated thereafter and Williams powered home a late header to complete the turnaround.

Home captain Phil Jagielka was sent off in the dying minutes for a second bookable offence and Arsenal had two shots cleared off the line in a frantic finale.

But they could not prevent a first league defeat since their opening match of the season, leaving them three points behind leaders Chelsea, who have a game in hand.

Everton, meanwhile, are up to seventh, four points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.

Everton 2-1 Arsenal Highlights

[ English Premier League 2016-17 Match ]
20′ 0 – 1 Alexis Sanchez scored in 20th minute with a lucky deflected freekick to put Arsenal in lead.
44′ 1 – 1 Seamus Coleman brought Everton back into the game at stroke of halftime.
86′ 2 – 1 Ashley Williams scored late in second half with a thumping header to make it 2-1 for Everton.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY: 

Everton manager Ronald Koeman on BT Sport: 

"The first 20 minutes, that was really poor. We were very nervous and unsure. Every ball back. Mistakes and no aggression. After that we played face to face and showed unbelievable spirit to come back and we deserved the win. We were lucky in the last situation but we played great football and the support of the fans, it makes Goodison Park really difficult to beat us here.

"Sometimes it is difficult to understand why we start so poorly at the beginning. Of course there is some lack of confidence but show your personality. We showed big personality." "We showed two faces. The first face I hate that face because it is all about being nervous. You cannot lose the game like that. This was a good match though because we showed how we have to play - with commitment and aggression. You see the reaction of the crowd when you go for it and that's what we did. 

"On Monday, the game against Liverpool is of course a totally different situation now we go with three points in the pocket. We know we are strong at home and still unbeaten. If we play with the passion we showed tonight we will do well. We will learn from this match, it was a great result."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport: 

"I don't think with five to go we deserved to lose the game but we were caught on two headers. I think especially on the first one we were guilty, the second one was from a corner. We controlled Romelu Lukaku well but two defenders scored. Maybe we made it easy for them when they became more physical. They played a real cup game tonight.

"They defended well even when we controlled the game. We created chances but not too many were clear-cut. We battled hard. We put everything in and the players are very disappointed."

 "It was a very physical game, we faced many physical challenges and that disturbed our game but we were a bit unlucky to lose as well. 

"We had chances in the first half, especially from Mesut. They defended well, they played a cup game, and at the end of the day it was two defenders in their team who scored.

"They were a bit scared at first but they got their confidence. We did fight, I cannot fault that."

What next?

The win could not have come at a better time for Everton as they prepare for Monday's Merseyside derby with Liverpool at Goodison Park (20:00 GMT). However, they will be without Jagielka following his dismissal.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are back in the north west of England as they visit Manchester City on Sunday (16:00 GMT).

Everton 1-1 Manchester Utd EPL Match Results & Highlights (Fellaini concedes late penalty to give Everton a draw)

Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini conceded a costly penalty against his former club as Leighton Baines rescued a late point for Everton at Goodison Park.

Fellaini was introduced as an 85th-minute substitute but his first meaningful action was to commit a clumsy foul on Idrissa Gueye in the area, and Baines made no mistake from 12 yards.

Match Highlights

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's sixth goal in five games had earlier put United on course for just a third Premier League win in 11 matches.

The 35-year-old Swede struck with a sweet first-half lob that hit the bar and post before finally deigning to cross the line - although Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's will be unhappy with his decision to rush from his area.

Will it? Won't it? Everton fans look on in suspense as Ibrahimovic's shot bounces around on the line

United, with manager Jose Mourinho back on the touchline after his midweek ban, also saw Ander Herrera crash a shot off the frame of the goal in the second half.

However, it might have been a different story had referee Michael Oliver shown a red card to United defender Marcos Rojo for a wild, two-footed lunge on Gueye with just 15 minutes gone.

That was the prelude to a bruising encounter for the out-of-form Toffees, who lost Seamus Coleman and Yannick Bolasie to injuries before they rallied late on.

Chelsea 5-0 Everton EPL Match Highlights (Chelsea thump Everton to top Premier League) #CHEEVE

Eden Hazard has scored in four consecutive Premier League matches

Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea climbed to the top of the Premier League for the first time since August with a stylish victory over Everton.

Hazard put Chelsea ahead with a low, angled shot, before Marcos Alonso added a second when he slotted through Maarten Stekelenburg's legs.

Diego Costa made it 3-0 just before half-time, and Hazard scored the pick of the goals after the break.

Pedro put the gloss on the result when he tapped into an empty net.

Match Highlights

Everton spent the majority of the game penned in their own half and did not manage a shot on target in the entire 90 minutes as Chelsea produced a ruthless and dominant performance.

Many of the visiting supporters left Stamford Bridge well before the final whistle. Those that remained applauded Chelsea off the pitch, with the biggest ovation of all from the home fans reserved for Hazard, who capped a brilliant display with two superb goals.

Chelsea system stands up to scrutiny

In an attempt to stifle the 3-4-3 system that had earned Antonio Conte's side four consecutive Premier League wins before this match, Everton manager Ronald Koeman reverted to three men at the back.

However, the tactical ploy proved ineffective as the Dutchman's side were outpassed and outclassed by Conte's men in a mesmerising first-half display.

Confidence has been high among Chelsea's players since their 4-0 demolition of Manchester United last month, and the swagger with which they dismantled Everton will only further fuel talk of a title challenge.

In the five games since the formation change, Conte's side have scored 16 goals and conceded none.

Chelsea look a completely different team from the sluggish outfit that struggled under Jose Mourinho last season, and this performance was a real statement of intent.

Frustrated Lukaku draws a blank

Everton did not pose a threat to Chelsea throughout the match. This is emphasised by the touch map for Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku, who did not manage a single touch inside the penalty area against his old club.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku would have been desperate to impress against former club Chelsea, but the Belgium international was a subdued presence.

Luakaku, who joined Everton from Chelsea for a club record £28m in July 2014, was barely able to get on the ball in the final third as Chelsea dominated.

Despite being paired with Yannick Bolasie, he was deprived of service, and spent large parts of the game chasing lost causes.

The 23-year-old has now played five Premier League matches for the Toffees against his former club, but is yet to score.

Hazard back to his brilliant best

If Lukaku endured a frustrating game, the opposite was true for compatriot Hazard, who has rediscovered his joie de vivre and scored for a fourth consecutive league game.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa may have had a hand in more goals than any other Premier League player, with nine goals and three assists, but it is Hazard who has supporters on their feet whenever he is on the ball.

The effortless manner with which he glided past the dazed yellow shirts of Everton's defence for his two goals was breathtaking.

Conte claimed the 25-year-old forward is on the right track to becoming one of the world's best players, and on this evidence that is no exaggeration.

BBC Match Of The Day pundit Ian Wright said: "Eden Hazard was world class against Everton. I think Ronald Koeman picked the wrong day to pick three at the back."

Man of the match - Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

A performance of sheer class from the Belgium international. He bamboozled the Everton defence with his silky touches and scored two goals which owed much to his individual brilliance. It was all done with a smile on his face - a stark contrast the 2015-16 campaign - and he was deservedly given a standing ovation when he was replaced with 10 minutes left.

What the managers said

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: "It was a great game, a good performance. It is important for confidence to be top of the league. We have to continue as Everton is now in the past.

"The players deserve this because they show me great commitment and I can tell they are working very hard. The team has more balance defensively, but we don't lose our offensive situation. We are creating more chances to score goals.

"Eden Hazard played an impressive game. We all know he is a talented player. I see he is working a lot for the team and his team-mates are very happy for this. He must continue - he is showing his talent in every game."

Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "The difference was too big between Chelsea and Everton. The one positive thing is it is only three points.

"This system is very difficult to play against and really the Chelsea manager has brought a winning mentality to the players. They are hungry and they will fight for the title for sure.

"I expected more from my team. It was a big difference in every aspect. It was not about the system - the difference was the mentality to win the game. With five defenders we control it, after 2-0 it was over."

What next?

After the international break, Chelsea face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday, 20 November with a 16:00 GMT kick-off, while a day earlier Everton have a 15:00 GMT home fixture against struggling Swansea.

Romelu Lukaku scored his sixth goal of the season for Everton

Maarten Stekelenburg saved two penalties for Everton as his side escaped with a point against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Kevin de Bruyne was the first to miss in the opening period, seeing the Dutch goalkeeper push his effort away, and Sergio Aguero saw the same outcome in the second half.

Despite dominating possession, City went behind as Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring with a cool finish.

Nolito headed in for the hosts from David Silva's inch-perfect cross, but De Bruyne had a drive brilliantly saved by Stekelenburg, as City failed to find the winner.

City starting to stumble

Following their perfect start to the season when they won their opening six games, City have stumbled in their past two with defeat at Tottenham and this draw against Everton.

Boss Pep Guardiola stood scratching his head on the touchline in the second half, during a game in which his side had 19 shots and 72% possession but only found the net once.

Leroy Sane was given his first Premier League start for City and the German international showed his promise with an impressive performance, while Raheem Sterling also threatened with his pace.

But it was the host's philosophy of trying to work the ball into the net which let them down, finding a resolute Everton defence that sat deep to snuff out wave after wave of opposition attack.

....and Sergio Aguero's penalty in the same direction in the second

Having somehow fallen behind, City did manage to grab an equaliser through substitute Nolito's header from close range.

What they said:

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We did absolutely everything. Everton created just one chance which was a goal. I'm a little bit sad and disappointed for the players. But it's a big compliment to Everton and Ronald Koeman so I say to them 'well done'."

Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "I am satisfied with a point because not many teams leave this stadium with a point. You need to be a little bit lucky and a goalkeeper to have the match of his life, and you need a work-rate from your team. A big compliment to the team because we fight."

What next?

Everton travel to Burnley in the league on Saturday, 22 October (kick-off 15:00 BST), while City host Southampton the next day (kick-off 13:30).
