Everton left it until the second-half to beat Bournemouth 2-0 at Goodison Park, getting Marco Silva's men back to winning ways in the Premier League.
Goals from Kurt Zouma and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured Everton's three points, as well as a rare clean sheet for Silva's side.
The Toffees have now moved into the top half of the table with the win, whereas Bournemouth stay in 12th.

The first-half was certainly not a classic spectacle. Everton were incensed as they were not awarded a free-kick and David Brooks ran in on goal, but his effort came off the inside of the post.
Ademola Lookman's cross just over 30 minutes in found Bernard at the far post, but the Brazilian couldn't keep his header down.
Bernard returned the favour to his fellow winger a few minutes later, but Lookman couldn't sort his feet out in time.
Everton had yet another big chance when Michael Keane met a Lucas Digne cross, but the England defender couldn't keep his header down, either.
The teams went in goalless at the break, with Bournemouth starting the better, but Everton growing into the game as the half went on.
Nathan Ake made a tremendous goal-line clearance from Richarlison's shot, with goal-line technology confirming how well the Dutchman did.
Digne's crossing ability has been a key part to Everton's attacking play this season, and the Frenchman whipped the ball in again to his compatriot Zouma who gave the hosts the lead.
Everton were well on-top now and Goodison Park was rocking. Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross was met by a diving Richarlison, who glanced the ball wide.
There was five minutes of added time and Bournemouth were the team doing most of the pressing.
However, leaving so many men forward led to a rather empty defensive line and Lookman made the most of that, and found substitute Calvert-Lewin, who scored with one of the last kicks of the match.
The Managers
Everton boss Marco Silva: "They were an important three points for us. We knew before the match it was important to turn the last few results back our way.
"Even if 2-0 is a tough result to take for them, we deserved the points and our players showed big personality and character as a team."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "I thought we played well today, we started the game well and we had a good chance with David Brooks but that's how it's going for us. A lot of elements were really strong but ultimately it goes against us.
"It will change for us if we continue to hit those levels we were at today, but when you're in that moment, that win seems elusive."
