Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Everton and Middlesbrough. Here comes the team news...

For the first time since 21 November 2015 Everton win a PL home match in which Romelu Lukaku scores. They were winless in their last four home matches in which he scored, losing the last three.

FULL TIME: Everton 3-1 Middlesbrough

Gareth Barry goes off to a standing ovation.

Indeed there will be two additional minutes here.

There will only be a couple of minutes of injury time and that should be enough for Boro fans.

Everton on course to claim a fourth victory in their opening five Premier League matches for the first time.

Valencia ships it wide to Deulofeu but his cross is a weak one with Barkley waiting in a dangerous area.

Forshaw off for Clayton.

Fischer flagged offside as Boro prepare another substitution.

Fischer has his shot blocked on the edge of the box with others possibly in better areas. Desperation creeping in.

TEN MINUTES REMAINING: As it stands, Everton will jump to second in the table just two points behind Manchester City.

Swept in by Downing but straight into the gloves of Stekelenburg. Easy claim.

Everton have totally closed this game down. Boro getting absolutely no joy in any area. Excellently running down the clock.

Still plenty of stomach for the fight from Negredo. Good to see. Will it rub off on any of his teammates?

Everton sub: Mirallas comes off to be replaced by Deulefeo.

Barkley goes down in the box under a challenge from Barragan but he more lost his own footing. It’s only a goal kick.
