Cenk Tosun scored a second-half brace to seal a 2-1 win for Everton at 10-man Stoke City on Saturday as Sam Allardyce's side recorded back-to-back wins for the first time in 2018.
Charlie Adam was sent off after 30 minutes at the Bet365 Stadium, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's equaliser counted for little after Tosun notched his fourth goal in three games with seven minutes left on the clock.
Crystal Palace climbed out of the relegation zone and up to 16th after triumphing 2-0 in their trip to Huddersfield Town, while Bournemouth came back from a goal down to beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 at home.
