Everton extended its unbeaten start to the current Premier League campaign following a late goal from Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The result keeps the club among the top seven teams in the league after three matches. David Moyes oversaw the performance despite a turbulent transfer window that saw attackers Iliman N'Diaye and Beto sold, alongside the departure of Nathan Patterson to Torino. A last-minute attempt to sign Folarin Balogun failed, leaving the team with a limited senior squad of 18 outfield players. Jack Grealish made his return to the club as an on-loan signing, featuring as a late substitute. Everton faces a challenging stretch as the squad depth remains thin until the transfer window reopens in January.

"The build-up to this match was dominated by conversations about who Everton failed to sign in the transfer window. Since their last league match - a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth eight days ago - they had sold attackers Iliman N'Diaye and Beto, while Nathan Patterson joined Torino. When on-loan Jack Grealish - once the most expensive British player of all time - took to the touchline on his return to the club, he appeared to be Everton's most likely route back into the game.
