Dwight McNeil seals quickfire comeback for Everton at Southampton

Everton grabbed a haphazard game by the scruff of the neck to earn successive victories and increase the pressure on Ralph Hasenhüttl, the Southampton manager, whose side slipped to a third successive defeat.

Dwight McNeil and Conor Coady scored their first Everton goals within five second-half minutes as Frank Lampard’s side came from behind to take victory. Boos from the home support greeted McNeil’s winner and for Hasenhüttl this felt like a turgid performance symptomatic of the kind of slide that raises questions over where they are heading.
