Everton vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The corner is half cleared and the ball drops to Lukic on the edge of the D, but he hooks an awkward volley comfortably wide. Pickford never looked worried.

Fulham work the ball short to Reed, whose cross is headed up in the air. Young eventually puts it behind for another corner on the opposite side.

Fulham are gifted a corner as Patterson completely misjudges a header back to Pickford, sending it well wide of his own goal.

Decordova-Reid has taken up Willian's position on the left in a straight swap. He's involved for the first time as Fulham break, but he runs into Gueye as he cuts inside, and Everton can clear.

Excellent work from Keane and Garner, who both track Cairney all the way to the sideline before winning a throw off the Fulham captain. The visitors are still struggling to find a way through Everton's press.

Diop slices a clearance out of play before Patterson also concedes a cheap throw-in. It's been a scrappy, competitive start to the second period.

Fulham created 0.04 xG to Everton's 2.22 in the first half. They needed to change something in attack, but it's perhaps surprising to see Willian make way, rather than Cairney or Wilson.

Everton get the second half under way. Can they build on a positive first 45 minutes to start their season with a win?

Fulham have managed one shot, none on target, and registered just four touches inside Everton's area. That's despite the Cottagers having almost 70 per cent of the possession. Silva can't be happy with his team's display, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Mitrovic and Pereira come on soon.
