Anyone looking for signs of a an Everton revival would be well advised to wait until less accommodating opponents are encountered. For Marco Silva’s stuttering side a fixture against the team propping up the table came along at the idea time. A new face in the dugout made little or no difference to Huddersfield’s fortunes on the pitch, they gifted Everton an early goal and were unable to take advantage when their visitors went down to 10 men for almost half an hour.To be kind to the relegation strugglers they were worth at least a point and might have had one but for some excellent second half goalkeeping by Jordan Pickford, particularly when keeping out a header from Elias Kachunga 10 minutes from time. To be kind to their visitors they managed to see the game out after Lucas Digne’s dismissal, but this win was far from the confidence booster it could have been. Though Richarlison added to his goal tally it was just about all he managed successfully all evening.
