Toffees maintain Euro hunt

Everton kept themselves in the Champions League qualification picture with an ultimately convincing 3-1 win over struggling Reading at Goodison Park.

Marouane Fellaini headed the Toffees ahead with his 12th goal of the season late in an evenly-fought first-half, in which Reading hit the woodwork, and the Merseysiders eased to victory after the break.

Steven Pienaar, with a stunning long-range strike, and Kevin Mirallas made sure of the three Barclays Premier League points before Hal Robson-Kanu grabbed a consolation.
