Abdoulaye Doucoure's opener after 10.18 seconds is the fourth-fastest goal scored in Premier League history, and the fastest scored by any player in a home game.
Everton's second goal, scored by Beto (05:48), was the earliest the Toffees have ever scored twice in a Premier League game.
Iliman Ndiaye has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances, the longest run by an Everton player in the competition since Demarai Gray in September 2021.

Both of these teams got good wins last week, but it's hard to know what to make of Leicester beating Tottenham because of the spell Spurs are going through.
I don't see that result as meaning the Foxes have turned a corner, but it was massive for them after seven straight league defeats.
What a player Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is by the way. He seems to be getting quicker, at the age of 38, and is still scoring really important goals for them.
It was Everton's victory at Brighton that impressed me the most, though.
They are still not going to be free-scoring but the centre-back partnership between James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite, with Jordan Pickford behind them, has given new boss David Moyes the foundation he wants.
I am backing them to edge this game too, which would give Moyes a hat-trick of wins and a bit of breathing space over the bottom four.

'I'm really jealous' - Moyes on transfer activitypublished at 15:50 31 January

Everton manager David Moyes says he is "jealous" watching the transfer activity of other teams in the January market. He says the club is restricted by profit and sustainability rules [PSR], the extent to which he had not realised.
"I'm really jealous of watching a lot of teams who can maybe attempt to go for a lot of players at expensive prices," Moyes said. "At the moment we're not in that buyers' market. We've still got a little bit of work to do [on PSR].
"What I really want to bring to Everton just now is not really what I can do. As a manager, you always want to sign the best players you possibly can.
"I want to sign people who I think the supporters will be excited by and just at the moment we're all just a little bit hindered with what's been left over."
Moyes has won two of his first three games on his return to Goodison Park but will be without first-choice striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin through injury for a number of weeks.
He conceded Everton's limitations in the transfer market are difficult to take.
"I've got to say I've been really surprised in the way it's restricting the football club here," he said. Everton's a huge football club and it should be competing with many of the big clubs in the country and hopefully spending in a way where it's right and challenging for the big players that are out there and available."
Moyes on Calvert-Lewin injury, PSR and Keanepublished at 14:37 31 January

Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Leicester City (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
He explained the injury sustained by Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the victory over Brighton "isn't as bad as first feared" and is hopeful the striker will play some part before the end of the season.
The news is not as positive for on-loan midfielder Orel Mangala, however, with Moyes confirming that he will return to parent club Lyon to undergo surgery on the injury he picked up towards the end of that win.
Winger Dwight McNeil has had a minor operation on a knee injury to fix an ongoing issue, while striker Youssef Chermiti returned to the grass today and should be available for selection in three to four weeks.
Moyes did not rule out the possibility of Michael Keane being deployed as a centre-forward due to the number of injuries in that department. However, he said that it was "not my first thought" for a solution.
When asked if he was confident Everton would be able to bring in new faces before the end of the January transfer window, he said: "Confidence at the moment has become difficult because it's certainly not for the want of trying. I know behind the scenes and for all the Evertonians, we are really out there trying to find players we can bring in. Ultimately, we are still hampered by PSR [profit and sustainability rules]."
More on the limits PSR is having on him and the club: "I've got to say, I have been really surprised in the way it is restricting the football club. Everton is a huge football club and it should be competing with many of the big clubs in the country here, hopefully spending in a way that is right and challenging for the big players who are out there and available. We hope to bring in some players but maybe not the ones that, if we had the money, we would be trying to do."
'Give Keane a run up front' or is it time for the youngsters?published at 09:15 31 January

We asked for your views on how Everton will cope without Dominic Calvert-Lewin and where the goals might come from.
Here are some of your comments:
Don: Everton have Michael Keane who can score with his head and he is a good shooter. Why not use him until the end of season as a centre-forward? That's what they did way back. Remember Fred Pickering? He used to be a full-back. He was big and strong had a shot on him like a mule. Keane has scored some cracking goals for us.
Steve: Just a thought, but how about giving Keane a run upfront? He's scored a few before and could help Beto score a few.
Dan: Like every team we need someone who can put the ball in the back of the net. We might as well cancel Armando Broja's loan if possible and try someone else. I just hope we can find another Kevin Campbell from somewhere! With 12 players out of contract this summer, I don't know how we are going to be able to afford to rebuild this squad under profit and sustainability restrictions. We have got to hope we have some academy graduates who suddenly develop into Wayne Rooney.
Barry: David Moyes will have to be backed in the transfer market for attacking reinforcements. Central midfield is looking better with James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam coming back, but our creative options upfront and immediately behind are scarce. Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure will likely be first choice but after that the cupboard is distinctly bare. If there are no other incomings, Keane might become a makeshift forward. It also begs the question, will anyone take a chance on DCL with his injury record, even on a free?
Pete: DCL is not a big loss. He's looked low on confidence, fitness, desire and has scored just three goals and made one assist this season. His latest goal against Tottenham was his first in 4 months. Dominic has appeared 22 times this season for Everton but yet only played 90 minutes eight times - you can't score if you're not on the pitch. I always think it's worth a punt on getting a cheap young enthusiastic player on loan - you never know how well it could work out.
Mark: As well seeing if there is a proven goal scorer out there - before the transfer window ends. Is it time for Everton to give some pitch minutes to one or two young strikers at the club, who don't have Premier League experience? There's no point developing young players in the academy, if you never take a risk and give them a chance. There may be a star striker right under Moyes' nose!

It is fair to say that Everton are having the new-old manager bounce. With David Moyes coming back in, they have created a bit of daylight between themselves and the bottom three.
But one thing that is still apparent, for as good as their defensive record is, they have still only scored 19 goals. That has become a problem.
The injury to Armando Broja, the fact that Beto has not scored too many - and neither has Dominic Calvert-Lewin - means goals are going to play a big part in how they finish this season.
Moyes knows giving the Everton fans something to look forward to watching does require goals. So they are going to need somebody up there that could maybe combine in a 4-4-2 formation or is capable of leading the line themselves.
Having a finisher changes the way teams are perceived and how you play against them. I would not say who Everton get has to be from the Premier League because there are so many hidden gems in the football league and elsewhere. Ultimately, price will be a big factor.
And that is the thing with Everton - where the player comes from is not a big deal. Look at someone like Seamus Coleman - a club legend who was brought in for £100,000 from Ireland. The profile does not matter as long as they buy into the identity of the football club.
This is an important season for Everton, not just for staying in the league, but for the feeling as they go over to the new stadium. If they are scoring goals, and playing exciting football, then there are reasons to believe something good is coming.

Everton situation 'looking much healthier'published at 12:34 29 January

The significance of Everton's win at Brighton last weekend should not be underestimated.
It was a rare away win, and the first time Everton had produced back-to-back league victories all season. Two major steps forward on the same day.
The 'new manager bounce' has seemingly kicked in, although as David Moyes rightly said after the game, there is still a long way to go.
But things are looking much healthier now, and imagine what a win over Leicester at Goodison on Saturday would do. It would give Everton a nine-point cushion over the side currently below them in the table – who just happen to be the Foxes.
Not as easy as it sounds, however, given Leicester's win at Tottenham. That result makes this weekend's clash even more intriguing.
It is a huge game and vital that Everton use the confidence they have clearly discovered to find another important three points.
It is just a shame to see Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala pick up injuries.
Whether that accelerates the need for reinforcements before the transfer window closes remains to be seen.
Could men's and women's teams share ground?published at 15:58 28 January

Everton Women's manager Brian Sorensen says that the club's new owners will do "what's best for the women's programme" when deciding on if his team will move grounds in the near future.
The new stadium has a 52,888-capacity and remains on schedule to be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season.
Speaking about the possibility of such a move, Sorensen told BBC Radio Merseyside: "You can't rule anything out that's for sure. They [new owners] are very open-minded and I think it should be about what's best for the women's programme.
"Is it building Walton Hall Park out like with Kingsmeadow? Or is it finding another venue or even going into the new stadium.
"Let's see what they come up with. I just know that they are very supportive."
Everton's women are playing Tottenham in the FA Cup on Wednesday. The original game was is rearranged due to weather conditions making the pitch unplayable earlier in the month.
'Attacker primed for here and now' - Everton's shopping listpublished at 12:40 28 January

Two wins on the spin. Two types of victories. This football lark is easy - well kind of.
David Moyes appears to have the Midas touch, after Everton followed up last weekend's front-footed win over Tottenham, with a hard-fought, ground-out triumph at Amex Stadium.
The manner of the wins is not important. It was another huge step towards safety and has somewhat relieved the pressure.
The win came at a huge cost, however, with what look to be long-term injuries sustained by both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala.
Both players are immensely important, but especially in Calvert-Lewin's case as his only current fit deputy is Beto - a player full of verve and vigour, but lacking technically.
Afterwards, Moyes alluded to his plans for the final week of the transfer window now changing. If a new striker was not at the top of the list, it is now imperative that one is.
Goals have been at a premium for the majority of the season and, given the increased attacking intent of Moyes' side, a forward who is primed for the here and now is a must.
Even with Mangala's injury, central midfield is slightly less of an issue, given the return of both James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam.
Both will have a significant task filling the Belgian's boots as he has been one of few standouts this season. However, they are both certainly more than capable.
The manager was always keen to add to an already stretched squad.
In order to keep the wolves from the door and continue our upward trajectory, I am expecting a busy end to the window for us.
'You can tell Moyes feels right back at home'published at 11:27 28 January

BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.
David from Bromborough asked: What are your early thoughts of David Moyes back at Everton?
Phil answered: I have never bought into the idea of Moyes returning to Everton on the many occasions this was mooted in the past, feeling it was a backward step. But this time I totally get it and understand exactly why this appointment was made after Sean Dyche's sacking.
The club needed someone of Premier League experience and pedigree - and Moyes himself has looked genuinely thrilled and reinvigorated to be back at Everton. And, best of all for Everton fans, he has had two very good wins against Tottenham and Brighton.
Those who were sceptical, and there were plenty, are feeling a lot better now. So far so good, and you can just tell by Moyes' body language and his interviews that he feels right back at home.

SE: Every year Everton and Jordan Pickford come to the Amex and time-waste. The officials are oblivious to it and they need training. How we lost is beyond me but we were toothless up top again.
Chris: We were half the team that we had been against Man Utd. We deserved nothing. Little energy, little desire. Creativity almost non-existent. A real anti-climax to a great month.
Colin: We could have played all night and not scored. It was vital to get the first goal and apart from a couple of early occasions we never got behind the Everton full-backs and completely ran out of ideas of how to break down a strong defence guarding a one-goal lead. Joel Veltman knew what he was doing for the handball and didn't have his best game. Another frustrating watch.
Paul: Sometimes, particularly away from home, you just have to win ugly. So, obviously very poor going forward and in possession but a hard-working midfield and solid defence should guarantee we are in the Premier League in the new stadium. At this stage, that's all that matters for Everton.
Jason: The Moyesiah has come back to keep us in the Premier League and lead us into the new stadium as a top flight side. I am utterly delighted he's come back, and at this stage care only about results, not necessarily performances. They will come in time.
Dave: Bit disjointed at the back largely but still dug in and defended as a pack. A more pacy outlet is needed to ease the pressure at the back. The players' reactions on the field and the dugout at full-time speaks volumes. This is down to the change of manager who values every individual.
Mark: A superb away win showing team spirit, commitment and resolve. Our depleted ranks held firm but we might have suffered some vital injury losses. If ever we needed reinforcement, it's certainly now.
