Richarlison is down - not for the first time. Mark Hughes looks pretty annoyed that play has been stopped.

There didn't seem to be much reason for him to fall.

Leighton Baines' delivery is cleared by the first man again. Then Tom Davies' follow-up too. Saints then break up the pitch and James Ward-Prowse's cross is too long for Shane Long.

Jack Stephens booked for a late challenge on Cenk Tosun. Five Southampton players on a yellow now. This will mean yet another chance to launch into the box.

Southampton were poor in the first half but for the chances they did have, the man getting on the ball and making things happen was Danny Ings.

He deserves to score. We talked about how hard it can be coming back from injury and it was a great finish.

Leighton Baines throws another cross into the mixer from a set piece as Everton look to reply straight away. But a big Southampton head rises to clear danger.

Shane Long is coming on for the away side now. Charlie Austin is off in a like-for-like change.

There always seems to be space for Ricarlison in the Everton attack though. He's having a fine game and once again glides down the left wing, turning a one-two into a dangerous cross that is well claimed by Alex McCarthy down low.

Everton are sitting in a touch here now. Nathan Redmond with some slick touches down the left wing but in the end Southampton only come away with a throw-in to show for it.

Ryan Bertrand winds one up in front of the travelling support, it travels across the box and is scrappily cleared by Richarlison.

Much better from Southampton. Nice passing out from the back finds Ryan Bertrand on the overlap, his cut-back is into Danny Ings' feet, but the striker's low effort inside the box is blocked by Michael Keane. Really important touch.

And we are back under way.

Matthew: A balanced side, attacking threat and effective routines from the training ground. So long Big Sam.

George: I’m trying not to get carried away by Everton playing well and winning but it’s pretty clear that we’re going to win the league.

Four yellows cards for Southampton which shows how they are struggling to handle Everton.

Lovely touches from Tom Davies in a tight spot. Gliding into space away from pressure before winning a free-kick.

Once again Everton load the box. Leighton Baines launches it, Michael Keane's knock-on is collected by Alex McCarthy.

Mason Holgate covers well as Danny Ings looks to make something of another nothing ball up top. Ings fouls the defender which gives the ref time to show another yellow card - Cedric Soares on Richarlison a few minutes ago. That's four Southampton players in the book now.

A lovely weighted pass from Richarlison finds Cenk Tosun's clever angled run as Everton look to react quickly after a Southampton counter.

Tosun was isolated and blazed a shot from a tight angle into his marker's ankles.

Just a few minutes left before the break.

So many deep free-kicks for Everton to play with. Any foul is a dangerous position with Gylfi Sigurdsson in this kind of mood. Charlie Austin digs out a headed clearance this time.

With the amount of money players go for in this day and age it can be hard for Richarlison. He has to concentrate, play well and you can see why he was wanted so badly by Everton, he repaying the faith from the manager.

It is looking good for Everton. Southampton have tried to respond, but Everton are playing the more thoughtful and progressive football and are deservedly 2-0 up.

Richarlison in the thick of it again in midfield as he swipes in with a tough tackle to win the ball back, before nutmegging his marker and spinning away. Unfortunately for the home fans rising to applaud he then overruns it.
