In a commanding display, James Trafford's sublime save against Dominic Calvert-Lewin was eclipsed by Amadou Onana, who rose above Burnley's goalkeeper to nod in a goal from Dwight McNeil's corner.
Everton's dominance continued as Michael Keane doubled their lead, calmly slotting in on the second attempt after Trafford parried his initial effort and Dara O'Shea failed to clear the rebound. Despite Burnley's second-half attempts, with Zeki Amdouni forcing Jordan Pickford into a splendid save and Sander Berge striking the crossbar, their grim season persisted. Dyche's departure in April 2022, after overseeing more than 400 games and securing promotions from the Championship twice, marked a somber end to an era. Everton's recent 10-point deduction, while feared to shatter morale, has seemingly not deterred them from top-flight status.Dyche has given their season new life, and their stellar play has persisted as they have won 10 of the last 14 games across all competitions, climbing to 16th place in the standings.
