With the Blues now sitting outside the relegation zone, it's time for your Everton FC morning headlines on Monday, February 20.
Everton could face second FA probe in a week after Leeds showdown
Everton could face a second FA charge in a week following a mass brawl against Leeds United.
Twenty one players were involved as chaos erupted in front of the away supporters near the end of the first half at Goodison Park. The incident concluded with each side receiving two bookings.
The scale of the incident is likely to lead to scrutiny from the Football Association, which charged the Blues over a similar altercation at Anfield on Monday.

Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeil were shown yellow cards by referee Andy Madley after trouble broke out with the game heading towards half-time. It started with McNeil and Tyler Adams hustling eachother for the ball but quickly escalated into an incident that dragged in players from both sides - including both goalkeepers. Adams and Weston McKennie received bookings for Leeds. The match retained its edge for the rest of the game, with heated arguments breaking out at both half-time and full-time.
The incident was similar to the 86th minute fracas that led to both Everton and Liverpool being charged with an allegation of failing to control their players. That melee started with Jordan Pickford and Andy Robertson, who were both later booked, and drew in a host of players including substitutes.

'Wow' - Sean Dyche names two new Everton inspirations for Amadou Onana
Sean Dyche believes the performances of Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure against Leeds United will have provided Amadou Onana with valuable inspiration.
The Blues boss hailed Gueye and Doucoure as "outstanding" in the crucial relegation battle at Goodison Park on Saturday. Each played a key role in helping Everton to 1-0 win that lifted them out of the bottom three at the expense of Leeds.
Dyche has been impressed with Onana since he began working with him at the end of last month but feels there is work that can be done to continue the progress of the 21-year-old.
That includes the Belgium midfielder receiving advice from Steven Defour, who also played for Belgium and worked under Dyche at Burnley. Dyche has detailed his belief the KV Mechelen manager can provide useful advice to Onana on how to adapt to the Premier League. Onana was substituted late in the game against Leeds and Dyche later explained he had been dealing with a knee issue that would be assessed further but which he believed was "manageable".
