The Toffees bounce back to winning ways after shock Sunderland defeat.
Watch official Everton v Southampton highlights.
Everton have climbed back into the top four with a 2-1 win over Southampton at Goodison Park.
Romelu Lukaku’s winner meant Roberto Martinez’s side moved above Liverpool into fourth place, although the Reds can reclaim that spot with a draw or win at Chelsea later on Sunday.
Irish defender Seamus Coleman opened the scoring for Everton with a fine strike in the ninth minute.
The Toffees were rocked in the 71st minute when Adam Lallana picked out Gaston Ramirez and the Southampton star advanced before smashing a dipping shot past Everton keeper Joel Robles.
But on-loan Chelsea striker Lukaku struck three minutes later to seal Everton’s third win in their last four matches.
James McCarthy slid the ball to Lukaku just inside the penalty area and the Belgian took one touch before lashing home his ninth club goal of the season.
