WIDE! McNeil goes close to doubling Everton's lead! Branthwaite stays up the pitch from a set-piece and flicks a header down the left to McNeil, who races into the box before driving his low effort across the goal and wide of the right post.

There is a really good feeling around Goodison Park, as the hosts know that a win would be enough to ensure their Premier League survival. After battling to stay up until the final day last season, Dyche would be delighted to get it done with three games remaining.

There was a nervous wait around Goodison Park after Gueye scored, with VAR checking the goal for two offsides. However, it stands, with Gueye giving the lead for the Toffees for the third time this season!

Goal Idrissa Gana Gueye

Garner slides a ball down the right to Godfrey, who flashes a first-time cross towards the back post. Collins could let it go behind but flicks it out for a corner.

McNeil's outswinging corner from the left is headed away as far as Harrison, whose first-time volley rebounds out to Young on the edge of the box. The full-back then attempts to lift the ball back into a dangerous area but sends it straight out for a goal-kick.

Wissa and Harrison chase after the ball in Brentford’s half next to the right corner flag, with the Bees forward going through the back of the winger to give away a needless free-kick. McNeil then whips a cross towards the back post, with Flekken getting his hand on it to flick it behind.
