THERE was a sense of relief in the celebrations at Goodison Park as Everton ran out 2-0 winners against fellow relegation worriers and points deduction sufferers Nottingham Forest.
Two goals hit from outside the area, one from Idrissa Gana Gueye and another from Dwight McNeil, mirror images of each other in each half, secured Everton’s second win and clean sheet combo in as many home games.
There are still elements of uncertainty around these points deductions and the messy application of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules. Everton’s ownership issues also remain, but winning home games like this is a temporary tonic and provides hope.
