Sam Allardyce’s reign at Everton got off to a winning start thanks to second-half strikes from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The Icelander finished a well-worked move two minutes after half-time to break the deadlock following an even opening 45 minutes at Goodison Park.
Calvert-Lewin, who laid on the assist for Sigurdsson, capped off a good afternoon’s work 16 minutes from time after breaking clear and finding the net with the aid of a deflection.
It was an extremely encouraging performance for Allardyce, who saw his side graft in the opening half before moving through the gears to secure a second win - and clean sheet - in the space of four days.
