PREM: Burnley 1-5 Everton
Lucas Digne (centre) scored twice as Everton eased to a 5-1 victory
Lucas Digne scored twice as Everton secured their first win in six Premier League games by thumping Burnley 5-1 at Turf Moor.
Marco Silva's side responded emphatically to their 6-2 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, with Yerry Mina's header giving them the perfect start (3), before Digne stretched their lead with a fine free-kick (13).
Gylfi Sigurdsson made it 3-0 from the spot in the 22nd minute, after Ben Mee was adjudged to have handled inside the box, before Ben Gibson pulled a goal back for the hosts from close range eight minutes before half-time.
But Everton quelled the fightback and re-established their three-goal cushion in the 71st minute when the impressive Digne fired past Joe Hart from 25 yards - and there was still time for substitute Richarlison to add a fifth in stoppage time (90+3).
It is only the third time that Everton have scored five goals in an away Premier League game and the first time since a 5-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday in April 1996. The win moves the Toffees back up to eighth in the table, while Burnley remain 18th, three points adrift of safety.
Burnley did the double over Everton as they achieved a seventh-placed finish last season, but those days seem a long time ago now with pressure mounting on manager Sean Dyche.
Marco Silva dropped Richarlison to the bench following the 6-2 defeat to Tottenham with Bernard recalled to the side. Yerry Mina replaced Tom Davies as Everton reverted to a back three.
His side went behind after more slack defending inside three minutes as Yerry Mina - on his return to the Everton side having missed the defeat to Tottenham - rose unmarked to head in Bernard's cross.
If the first goal was avoidable, there was very little Hart could do about Everton's second as, after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been unceremoniously brought down by Jack Cork, Digne brilliantly lifted his 25-yard free-kick over the wall and beyond the fingertips of the former England goalkeeper.
Everton were clearly intent on making a statement three days after that Spurs humbling, but they were gifted the opportunity of stretching their lead when Mee inexplicably lifted his hand to take the ball off Mina's head just nine minutes later.
Referee Michael Oliver did not hesitate in pointing to the spot, and Sigurdsson - who had already missed two penalties this season against Fulham and Watford - sent Hart the wrong way to notch his ninth goal of the campaign.
Burnley were in need of a response before half-time and it duly arrived when Gibson, on his first Premier League start since joining from Middlesbrough last summer, directed the ball over the line from close range after Michael Keane had initially kept James Tarkowski's header out on the goal line.
But that was as good as it got for Burnley, as Digne's well-struck shot from Bernard's pass ended any hopes of a comeback, and Richarlison heaped more misery on Dyche with virtually the final kick of the game as he received Sigurdsson's pass to poke his shot low into the net beyond Hart.
