James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall score in Everton home win over BurnleyBy Carl Markham, Press AssociationEverton 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. Burnley remain eight points from safety with a return to the Championship looming but Everton still harbour hopes of sneaking into Europe next season as they moved to within three points of sixth-placed Chelsea. 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.
