Everton fans have been down in the dumps lately following a torrid few months.

Prior to this weekend’s action the club were in danger of a relegation battle as they had recorded just four wins in 14 Premier League games.

Sam Allardyce took over from interim boss David Unsworth earlier this week as permanent manager on an 18-month deal.

The experienced coach’s first match in charge was against Huddersfield Town at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.

A slow start indicated that things may not go well for the Merseyside outfit, but in the second half, the team got the goals that they needed.

Gylfi Sigurdsson opened the scoring and Dominic Calvert-Lewin added to the tally as Everton picked up all three points.

As a result, the club moved up to 10th in the table and will now prepare for the Merseyside derby against Liverpool on December 10.

Following back-to-back wins, Everton fans are now feeling relatively optimistic ahead of the trip to Anfield.
