A stunning late free-kick from Kevin Mirallas completed a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Midlanders took the lead through Leandro Bacuna on 35 minutes, but substitute Steven Naismith restored parity with a neat finish in the 74th minute.
And Mirallas completed the comeback five minutes from time with a wonderful set-piece finish.
Ciaran Clark was adjudged to have clattered into the back of Mirallas and referee Bobby Madley awarded a free-kick 30 yards from goal.
The Belgium international dusted himself down, took aim and curled a right-footed set-play over the Villa wall and into the corner of the net.
"To win it with that moment of brilliance from Kevin in a dead-ball situation is even more pleasing," Everton boss Roberto MartÃnez said after the match.
Villa manager Paul Lambert added: "I think the second goal you hold your hands up and say it's a world-class free-kick, and you can't do anything about that."
