Everton Cruise Past Leicester 4-0 as Doucoure Makes History

Everton secured a crucial 4-0 win over Leicester City in their battle against relegation, with Abdoulaye Doucoure making Premier League history by scoring after just 10.18 seconds – the 4th fastest goal ever in the competition.

The Mali international capitalized on a long ball from Jordan Pickford to give Everton a dream start. Beto doubled the lead after 6 minutes as the home side flew out of the blocks.

Beto added a third just before halftime, with Iliman Ndiaye completing the rout in the 90th minute. The comprehensive victory lifts Everton 10 points clear of the relegation zone, while Leicester’s struggles continue under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

David Moyes’ return to Goodison Park has sparked a revival, with Everton now winning three consecutive league games for the first time since April. The Toffees have climbed above Tottenham into 15th place.

Leicester veteran Jamie Vardy endured a frustrating evening, managing just 9 touches before being substituted on the hour mark. The Foxes have now lost 8 of their last 9 league matches and appear in serious danger of relegation.

While Everton’s injury crisis continues, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil and others sidelined, Moyes has galvanized the squad. Beto impressed up front in Calvert-Lewin’s absence, scoring his first league goals since joining from Udinese.

For Van Nistelrooy and Leicester, the brief high of last weekend’s win at Tottenham has quickly evaporated. The Dutch manager has only won 2 of his 12 Premier League games in charge and finds himself under mounting pressure as Leicester’s dire form continues.
