It was Tarkowski's first goal for Everton in over a year as he last struck for the Toffees in February last year with a last-gasp equaliser against bitter rivals Liverpool.

The goal also comes again his former club, who he represented for six years between 2016 and 2022 before he joined Everton as a free agent.

Will Everton go on to secure all three points, or will Burnley find a way back into this?
