The sun shone like the first day of a bright new season, Everton scored for fun and won handsomely on home soil. A strange day indeed, but one Sean Dyche desperately needed and Goodison Park craved having endured torment for far too long.
A first home victory of the campaign, at the fifth attempt, and three goals at Goodison for the first time in almost a year signified a rare uplifting and entertaining afternoon for Everton.
