Everton recorded their first win of the season this weekend.
Everton’s first home win went according to plan with a 2-1 victory against Southampton.
First half goals from Theo Walcott and Richarlison put Everton on course for victory and at one stage it looked like they could run away with it.
A second half goal from Danny Ings denied them a clean sheet and ensured a battle in the second half but they hung on for the three points.
New signing Bernard did not feature, but he sent a message to fans after the game.
Bernard signed for the Toffees on deadline day as a free agent, with Everton beating heavy competition to bring him in.
Everton are not rushing him, as with fellow late arrivals Yerry Mina, Kurt Zouma and Andre Gomes.
The fact they looked so good yesterday and have so much still in reserve still is what makes this such an exciting moment for Everton fans to savour.
