Everton ended their Hill Dickinson struggles with a 2-0 victory over Burnley, thanks to goals from James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The win marked Everton's first home victory at their new ground since December, moving them within two points of sixth place in the Premier League table.

Tarkowski opened the scoring with a header from James Garner's set-piece, celebrating in front of the away fans after netting his first goal in a year. Dewsbury-Hall doubled the lead in the second half, finishing off a setup from Iliman N'diaye. Jordan Pickford made crucial saves, including a stoppage-time stop to deny Lyle Foster, adding to his impressive performance at Newcastle over the weekend.

Burnley's defensive woes continued as they conceded their 58th goal of the season, the worst record in the Premier League. The defeat leaves them vulnerable, with bottom-side Wolves now able to close the gap on 19th place. Burnley's lack of attacking threat without injured Zian Flemming was evident throughout the match.
