Everton beat Fulham 4-1 at Goodison Park today to move up to fourth place in the premier league. But even more sweet for the Toffee supporters, is that they have jumped their bitter rivals Liverpool.
Roberto Martinez has been praised for the way he has seamlessly come in, and turned Everton into one of the most attractive teams to watch in the Premier League.
They kept up their fine home form with another impressive win today, but the visitors made them work for it.
Leon Osman opened the scoring after 18 minutes with a fine finish, but Dimitar Berbatov converted a penalty with just twenty minutes to go.
The home supporters seemed to worry, as it looked as though two points were about to be lost at home.
Irishman Seamus Coleman finished off a fine team move to make it 2-1. Gareth Barry gave the Toffees some breathing space as he scored with just five minutes left. Kevin Mirallas put the icing on the cake with a fourth in stoppage time.
Everton are in fourth place, but may be looking up rather than down. They are just a point behind Man City who are third. Two points behind Chelsea, and four points behind league leaders Arsenal.
