00:00 Full time here at Goodson Park it ends as Everton 3, Burnley 0.
00:04 Everton into the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup as we speak.
00:07 We await to see who Everton are going to be facing in the last eight.
00:10 But a big step for Everton and an even bigger one as five wins in seven matches now for Sean Dyche's size.
00:16 He must feel that his troops have turned the tides and they're on the upper kerf certainly.
00:21 The Everton shows that in the results and the performances because they were fully worth the victory.
00:25 Took the lead in the 13th minute through James Tarkowski. Lovely clip ball in from Dwight McNeil.
00:30 And there was Tarkowski's head open. The two former Burnley players combining.
00:34 Script was written. Fantastic goal to open the score.
00:39 And Everton didn't create a lot of gilts-edge chances after that in the first half.
00:42 Amunds and Gnana put one over the bar when the Burnley keeper spilt across.
00:48 But on the other hand Burnley didn't create anything either.
00:53 They snuffed out the danger on a few occasions. Jarrod Bramford got across a couple of times.
00:57 James Gnana clears across inside the box.
01:02 And yeah, Sean Dyche gives a message that Everton needs to stay on it in the second half.
01:06 And needs to step things up. And they were dominant to be honest during the second period.
01:10 Double play advantage in the 53rd minute through Amunds and Gnana who was excellent throughout the game.
01:15 Dwight McNeil whipped in a corner. James Tarkowski heads it across goal.
01:19 And there was Owen Arnott to prod home. And Everton had to wait until stoppage time for the third.
01:23 They finished the game really strongly. As the young certainly.
01:26 The evergreen 38-year-old finished the game really strongly.
01:30 Just as an effort saved before that. And then in stoppage time substitute Beto.
01:34 Chiquita's way past the defender. Got to the byline. Cut the ball across.
01:38 And there was Young to finish from close range. A good finish.
01:42 So nonetheless with Burnley players around them.
01:45 And as I say five wins and seven now for Everton.
01:49 Our other winner here at Goodison Park. Which is a big moment for the Toffees.
01:53 Because they have struggled at home. And now they welcome Brighton here on Saturday.
01:58 And they'll be in a buoyant mood. They'll be in confident moods.
02:01 And Everton certainly will feel like they can get a result against Brighton.
02:04 But maybe this game is perhaps bigger than beating Brighton.
02:07 Because as I say, Carabao Cup quarter-final.
02:11 And potentially to get to Wembley are only three games from it.
02:15 If they win the quarter-final and the two semi-finals and they're there.
02:18 I don't think Sean Dyche will be getting ahead of himself yet though.
02:21 Still plenty of work to do he'll feel.
02:23 He's ever the pragmatist and he knows that as he keeps on saying the story is still changing.
02:31 But overall a very comfortable night to work. I finished Everton 3-0 Burnley.
