Everton beat Huddersfield 2-0 at The John Smith's Stadium to increase the Terriers' Premier League relegation fears
The visitors opened the scoring six minutes before half-time thanks to Cenk Tosun's neat finish - the Turkey striker's fifth league goal since joining the club in January
Sam Allardyce's side sealed the win when Idrissa Gueye drove home a second with just 13 minutes remaining to keep Everton eighth in the table
However, Huddersfield are now just three points clear of 18th-placed Southampton with three fixtures to play
Despite dominating the first 45 minutes, it was Everton who went in ahead at the break after a careless moment from Rajiv Van La Parra, whose stray cross-field pass was intercepted by Theo Walcott
The former Arsenal forward broke clear over halfway, before releasing Tosun, who still had work to do before finding the bottom left-hand corner
That was the visitors' first effort on target in the game and they almost doubled their lead with their second, 12 minutes after half-time
However, after playing a neat one-two in the box with Nikola Vlasic, Seamus Coleman was unable to beat Jonas Lossl at his near post, although that miss was soon forgotten as Everton went further ahead
Substitute Oumar Niasse broke clear to the right-hand byline, before picking out the unmarked Leighton Baines on the edge of the area
 The left-back's lovely layoff was then driven home by Gueye as Everton made it just one defeat in their last seven league encounters
 We are disappointed because we started the first half well and we were able to take the momentum from the last game
 We were aggressive, we brought intensity into the game and we limited them in the first half to one shot
Unfortunately, this one shot on target was a goal and we were not able to use our half chances, which we had
Second half was not as good as the first half, but in the end we got beaten by quality, something that we have to accept
 I can't honestly produce anymore than I'm doing
 I'm sorry if some fans don't like it, but we're trying as hard as we possibly can, both myself, the staff and the players
What can I say when you've got 14 points out of seven games when we were in a position of difficulty when I arrived
I can only say it's just one of those things and if we keep winning hopefully they might change it to love
Huddersfield barely threatened and I do not remember Jordan Pickford having to make any saves of note in the whole 90 minutes
 And their last three games are against teams with a lot more quality than Everton have got
It is quite apparent that the problem is creating the chances, not missing loads of them
The midfielder was a bundle of energy throughout the contest, crucially controlling the centre of the park for the visitors
The 28-year-old scored his side's key second goal late on to confirm the three points
Huddersfield take on champions Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday May 6, a match you can see live on 
Meanwhile, Everton face struggling Southampton at Goodison Park on Saturday May 5
