Everton secured a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, moving them into the top five. The victory marked a miserable return to his former club for Sean Dyche, who was at the helm for Forest.

The Toffees got off to a perfect start, scoring within the first 90 seconds to take an early lead. A free-kick just 22 seconds in caused immediate unease for Forest, and although they managed to deal with the initial threat, the danger persisted.

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall cleverly worked down the left before switching to his right foot and delivering a teasing ball towards the near post, where it deflected off defender Nikola Milenković's head and into the net.

Everton looked comfortable for most of the first half after that early strike, with their stats showing they were yet to lose when scoring the opening goal this season (W5, D2).

Jordan Pickford made a crucial save to tip away Elliot Anderson's strike, and that stop looked even more important when Everton doubled their lead on the break in first-half stoppage time. Iliman Ndiaye won the ball in the Everton half, surged forward, and set up Thierno Barry to score his first goal for the club, curling it into the far corner.

Forest started the second half with renewed energy, still trying to find a way back into the game. However, they struggled to create clear-cut chances, as Everton seemed to be managing the game effectively.

Nottingham Forest's attempts to push for a goal were thwarted, and Everton's defense remained solid. Jordan Pickford's earlier save had already proved crucial, and now James Tarkowski made a timely intervention to block Igor Jesus' effort, keeping the score at 2-0.
