It may not be pretty, but Rafa Benitez is developing a squad that knows how to win at Goodison Park.
Everton secured their fourth victory of the season against Norwich to move up to fifth in Premier League, level on points with Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.
Goals in either half – a penalty from Andros Towsend and a cool finish from Abdoulaye Doucoure – proved enough to see off a dogged Canaries outfit, even if it was not the most convincing of displays.
It is results that matter however.
