Dwight McNeil’s goal after 35 seconds was Everton’s quickest of the season
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Dwight McNeil\u2019s goal after 35 seconds was enough to earn Everton a priceless victory over Brentford to move out of the Premier League relegation places.<\/p>\n

The Toffees started the day in 18th place but capitalised on teams around them failing to win, leaping two points and three places above the drop zone.<\/p>\n

McNeil\u2019s delightful strike with the first attack of the game gave the hosts the perfect start, rasping a finish across goal which nestled into the far corner.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by a vocal crowd, the home side were swarming all over the Bees and created much the better chances with Demarai Gray seeing a second goal ruled out for handball by VAR.<\/p>\n

Brentford looked to salvage something from the game but were not at their best, Ethan Pinnock having a header cleared off the line by McNeil and Kevin Schade heading wide at the far post as their 12-match unbeaten run ended.<\/p>\n
