Everton 2-0 Fulham: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Everton 2-0 Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

A solid performance from Everton at home! They’ve managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Fulham, which might have been a surprise given their recent form. After drawing with Sunderland and losing to Tottenham and Manchester City, this win against Fulham was a much-needed boost. Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane were the heroes of the day, scoring crucial goals that helped Everton end their mini-slump and climb up the table.

Fulham, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their showing. Coming off a win against Wolves, they would’ve hoped to keep the momentum going, but it just wasn’t their day. They’ve now lost three out of their last four matches, and this defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium will sting. Everton’s defence was solid, and Fulham struggled to create any real chances, which ultimately led to their downfall.

The stats from this match tell a story of a closely contested game, but Everton just edged it where it mattered. Both teams had an equal share of possession at 50%, but Everton managed to convert their opportunities into goals. They also had more corners, with seven to Fulham’s five, showing a slight edge in attacking pressure. Fulham, however, had a higher successful dribble percentage at 47% compared to Everton’s 32%, indicating they tried to play more through the lines but couldn’t find the final touch.

The yellow cards were evenly split at two each, suggesting a fairly disciplined game from both sides. The number of substitutions also tells a tale, with Fulham making five changes compared to Everton’s three, perhaps in an attempt to change the game’s flow, but it didn’t pay off. Overall, the stats reflect a game where Everton were more clinical and effective in front of goal.

The key moments in this match were all about Everton’s goals and the timing of them. Idrissa Gueye’s goal just before half-time, assisted by Tim Iroegbunam, was a massive boost for the home side. It came at a crucial time, giving Everton the lead going into the break and shifting the momentum firmly in their favour.

The second goal, scored by Michael Keane and assisted by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 81st minute, sealed the deal for Everton. It was a well-taken goal that put the game beyond Fulham’s reach. These two moments were the turning points that defined the match and ensured Everton walked away with all three points.

Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jordan Pickford in goal and a back four of Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, and Mykolenko. The midfield was anchored by Iroegbunam and Gueye, with Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, and Grealish providing creativity and support to the lone striker, Thierno Barry. This setup allowed Everton to control the game’s tempo and exploit Fulham’s weaknesses, particularly in defence, which ultimately led to their victory.

Fulham also opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bernd Leno between the sticks and a backline of Tete, Andersen, Bassey, and Sessegnon. The midfield duo of Lukić and Berge was tasked with breaking up play and starting attacks, while Wilson, Iwobi, and Kevin supported striker Raúl Jiménez. Despite the balanced lineup, Fulham struggled to break down Everton’s defence and lacked the cutting edge needed to turn the game in their favour.

Idrissa Gueye takes home the Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match award for his stellar performance against Fulham. Not only did he score the opening goal, but his presence in midfield was crucial in breaking up Fulham’s attacks and maintaining Everton’s control over the game. His goal just before half-time was a game-changer, and his overall impact on the match was undeniable.
