Everton edge Fulham as Gueye and Keane strike in the snappy fashion Moyes demanded
Following Moyes’s call for more goals from midfield and defence, Everton started with purpose.
Gueye and Keane answered with a deserved win over Fulham.

A 20 minute spell after halftime aside, Everton pressed with urgency, physicality and quality.
Gueye struck just before the break with a poacher’s finish.
Keane sealed the win with a late strike.
Three Fulham goals were offside and ruled out, denying them a lifeline.
The result lifts Everton’s mood and raises hopes of a late-season push.
TLDR
- Gueye and Keane deliver a win, answering Moyes’s call for goals from midfield and defence.
- Fulham show fragility up front and struggle to trouble Everton’s tempo and steel.
- Everton gain momentum and must build on this result to climb the table.
