Brazilian winger Richarlison continued his sparkling start to the season with his third goal in two games as Everton beat Southampton 2-1 in Marco Silva's first game in charge at Goodison Park.
It was the performance as much as the scoreline that will have impressed Everton supporters, who saw former Saint Theo Walcott dink the ball over the keeper to give their side the lead after a clever free kick routine.
Everton added a second when Richarlison headed home Walcott's whipped cross.
But Southampton responded well after the interval with Danny Ings, who had earlier been denied by an excellent Jordan Pickford save, tapping home from four yards for his first goal for the club on his first start.
At the other end, Walcott had a goal ruled out for offside and spurned a late chance when he was clean through on the keeper.
