Everton staged a spirited comeback to claim a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, with goals from Vitalii Mykolenko, Michael Keane and Beto sealing three points.
Raul Jimenez nodded the hosts — pushing for a European spot — in front on 17 minutes, but Everton levelled just before the break through Vitalii Mykolenko, whose deflected strike capped off a sluggish opening spell for the visitors.
Michael Keane then powered in a header on 70 minutes to give Everton the lead, with Beto adding a third just three minutes later — his eighth goal in the Premier League this season.
Fulham’s appeals for a penalty deep into stoppage time were waved away, even after referee Darren England consulted the pitchside monitor for a potential handball by Mykolenko. He opted to uphold his original call and play continued without a spot-kick.
The loss leaves Fulham sitting 11th in the table, while Everton move up to 13th.
