The Toffees have picked up for🐭m since Moyes replaced Sean Dyche, and they made it three league wins in a row for the 𒊎first time this season in style on Saturday.
Abdoulaye Doucoure gave them lift off after just 10 seconds, latching onto Jordan Pickford's long b♋all to drill home the fourth-fastest goal in Premier League history.
Beto doubled Everton’s tally soon after with an assured finish aft𒁏er being put through one-on-one and then made it 3-0 in firsꦛt-half stoppage time in similar fashion, capitalising on unconvincing Leicester defending and exposing their high defensive line after a fine pass from James Garner.
Jesper Lindstrom should have made it 4-0 midway throu🌄gh the second half, but sent a tame finish straight at Mads Hermansen.
Iliman Ndiaye, though, made no such mistake as he capitalised on a꧙ defensive mix-up to add further gloss late on as Everton continued their charge away from the relegation battle.
Data Debrief: Record fast start gets Toffees rolling
Any pre-match nerves amongst the Everton fans were eased once Do🎉ucoure put the home side in front, with his goal the fastest scored by a home team in Premier League history.
Beto, in for the injured Dominic ౠCalvert-Lewin, got in on the act in the sixth minute – that made it the quickest Everton have gone two up in a Premier League game.
The striker's second goal saw them go 3-0 up at half-time in a successive top-flight ma🥂tch. Everton had not achieved that feat in their past 216 games in the competition.
Leicester, on the other hand, had very🐼 few positives to take. They were toothless, generating just 0.4 expected goals and having just one shot on target, which came in the 73rd minute.
