Everton fans vented their fury at manager Rafa Benitez but were given something to cheer when Richarlison halved the deficit on the hour mark to set up a tense finale.

Norwich had to endure seven minutes of stoppage time as Everton desperately searched for an equaliser but Dean Smith's struggling side held on for their third league win of the season to move off the foot of the table.

Norwich moved to 18th with 13 points from 21 games, above Newcastle United and Burnley, who sink to the bottom with 11 points albeit having played only 17 matches.
