Everton are up to fifth in the Premiership after a 4-1 win against Fulham at Goodison Park.

The Cottagers took an early lead, but goals from Lee Carsley, Alan Stubbs, and bright young sparks James Vaughan and Victor Anichebebe - both 18 - turned the match in the home side's favour.

Everton have now lost just two of their last 14 Barclays Premiership games and produced their biggest league victory of the campaign.

Earlier Charlton Athletic made it out of the Premiership's bottom three for the first time since September after a nil-nil draw with Manchester City.
