Gareth Barry scored on his 600th Premier League appearance to help Everton recover from a goal down to earn a 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough.
The Englishman's goal cancelled out Maarten Stekelenburg's earlier own goal, which came under pressure from Alvaro Negredo as he let a cross slip through his hands.
Seamus Coleman added a second for his side soon after and Romelu Lukaku got the faintest of touches to a Yannick Bolasie cross to round off the scoring.
Relive how the 90 minutes of action unfolded with Sports Mole's live text coverage below.

Ronald Koeman: "If you play a match, you analyse it, and of course there was a reason to change Ross at half time - because he did not play well. He lost many balls and a player of that quality can't lose those kind of balls. We always analyse the game, and then you have individual talks, and of course I had an individual talk with Ross. He needs to improve, but okay - we will see at the weekend."
Aitor Karanka: "As a player, I preferred to play against the best players in the world because if you are playing against them, it is because you belong at that level. For that reason, I am really pleased to be here. I know it's not the same to prepare for the game against Everton or against Tottenham the following week when we were preparing last season for Championship teams. But it's a good challenge and if you want to improve and you want to be successful, you have to do it."
