Everton hoped to celebrate David Moyes’ return with a win over Aston Villa on Wednesday.

The Toffees turned to Moyes after sacking Sean Dyche last week with the club having won just one of their last 11 league games, a run that had seen them slip a point from the relegation zone.

They didn’t find it easy against a Villa side who had won six of their last nine games in all competitions.

Unai Emery’s men were eighth in the table and knew a win would propel them back into the race for Champions League qualification. Relive all the action.
