Premier League: Everton 2 Burnley 0Everton won at home for the first time in three months to keep themselves in the hunt for European football with a 2-0 victory over struggling Burnley. The win over the Clarets by no means guarantees their travails at Hill Dickinson Stadium are over with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City still to visit but it avoided the unpalatable prospect of failing to profit against the Premier League's second-bottom side. Improving their home form - this was only their fifth league win here - will strengthen their case, as will Tarkowski contributing more from set-pieces. Just past the half-hour the centre-back planted a header from James Garner's deep free-kick to score from Everton's first shot on target. Another Garner set-piece, this time swinging into the near post, was headed on by Jarrad Branthwaite but was kept out by Dubravka.
