Everton vs. Lille: Score, Grades and Reaction from Europa League Game

Everton ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against Lille at Goodison Park on Thursday night, strengthening their position at the top of Europa League Group H.

Goals from Leon Osman, Phil Jagielka and Steven Naismith got the job done for Roberto Martinez's side, who have taken eight points from their four games in Europe and look a strong bet to qualify for the knockout stages.

Everton started brightly and went ahead on 27 minutes with a fine finish from Osman. The midfielder controlled with his chest at the far post before placing a shot back across goal and into the top corner.

Romelu Lukaku had a good chance to increase Everton's lead soon after, but the striker couldn't quite get the contact required with a header on goal.

Everton's second arrived just before half-time, as England defender Jagielka stooped to head home from an Aiden McGeady corner.

It was a fine finish from Jagielka, who judged the header expertly to steer it home in a crowded penalty area.

Everton went into the break with a 2-0 lead and without really being troubled. 

On the hour mark they had a third, and the game wrapped up for good. Lukaku played in Leighton Baines, whose left-wing cross was finished superbly by Naismith with a rasping left-footed strike.

The rest of the evening was a formality for the Toffees, who travel to Wolfsburg in Germany before concluding their group-stage action with the visit of Krasnodar to Merseyside.

On this form, they should comfortably make it through to the knockout round.
