Everton has climbed to the fifth place in the Premier League and bolstered their bid to qualify for the Champions League on Saturday with a 3-2 win at home to Swansea City.
Everton moved a point above Tottenham Hotspur, on whom they have a game in hand, and to within eight points of fourth-place Arsenal, while Swansea remain 15th.
