Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a first-half winner as Everton beat relegated Sheffield United 1-0 at Goodison Park on Saturday, setting a new Premier League club record and challenging their opponents for another.

Doucoure’s header was United’s 101st this season, one more than the previous record set by Swindon Town in 1993-94 in what was then a 42-game campaign.

Everton, who are in 15th place with 40 points from 37 games, have now won five successive Premier League home games without conceding a goal for the first time, a run of form that has lifted them out of the relegation zone.

The game had an end-of-season feel to it, with neither club having anything substantial to play for, but it was Everton who created more chances and deserved the win.
