adminEverton recorded their sixth away victory of the campaign with a 2–1 comeback win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
The Toffees recovered from going a goal behind, as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall found the net before a Bernd Leno own goal completed the turnaround. Deadline-day signing Tyrique George also made a strong impression on his debut after arriving on loan from Chelsea earlier in the week.
The win moves Everton to within touching distance of the European places — and a look at the Premier League standings since David Moyes returned in January 2025 underlines just how significant the progress has been.
Although some supporters have questioned whether Moyes is the right long-term figure to lead the club forward, the numbers since his return tell a powerful story.
Across 44 Premier League matches in his second spell on Merseyside, Everton would rank sixth over that period — firmly in Europa League contention. It represents a dramatic shift from a side once battling near the bottom of the table to one competing among the division’s strongest performers.
With Moyes’ current deal set to expire next year, the Friedkin Group will soon face a major decision regarding his future.
Discussions are expected before the summer transfer window opens, as clarity will be crucial in shaping recruitment plans. An extension would allow Moyes to continue developing the squad with both immediate and long-term ambitions in mind.
Given Everton’s upward trajectory under his leadership — and contrasting examples elsewhere in the league — it would come as a surprise if his contract were not renewed.
