Everton manager Rafael Benitez and Abdoulaye Doucoure celebrate after the Premier League win over Burnley at Goodison Park, LiverpoolRafael Benitez's golden touch as new Everton manager continued as his side produced a remarkable comeback with three goals inside seven minutes to beat Burnley 3-1 at Goodison Park. Townsend's goal was a strike of beauty, latching onto Doucoure's pass to whip a shot over Nick Pope. Everton failed to deal with McNeil's free-kick and then Johann Berg Gudmundsson's subsequent cross as Mee ran through a crowd of blue shirts to head home from close range. He then sliced Burnley apart with a through-ball to send Gray racing through to make it 3-1 and the Frenchman was only denied a deserved goal himself by an offside flag as Everton ran riot. It is four matches unbeaten now for Benitez and victory lifted Everton into fourth but level on 10 points with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
