Everton suffered a blow in their bid for Premier League survival as Fulham ended their four-game losing streak with a 3-1 win at Goodison Park.
Everton only entered the game above the relegation zone on goal difference but could drop into the bottom three by the end of the weekend after failing to build on their impressive home form under Sean Dyche.
Fulham, seeking their first league win since February 18, took a 22nd-minute lead through Harrison Reed but Dwight McNeil’s fine strike 10 minutes before the break gave Everton hope as they that the first half ended level.
The Toffees started the second half with a bang but it was the visitors who took the lead when Harry Wilson completed a fine counter-attack six minutes after half-time. Daniel James added a third for Fulham in the 68th minute and from there Marco Silva’s side took three points.
It is only the second time Everton have lost in the league at Goodison Park since Dyche took charge. They remain 17th, level on points with 18th-placed Nottingham Forest, who face Manchester United on Sunday – live on sky sports. Fulham remain 10th.
