Everton produced a superb second-half performance to beat Portsmouth at home 3-0 and seal a UEFA Cup place for next season.  It took until the 59^th minute for the home side to open the scoring when Mikel Arteta converted a penalty kick after a foul on Vaughan. Once the first arrived the flood gates opened. The second came courtesy on Joseph Yobo only 3 minutes later from an Everton corner.

After 2 goals in 3 minutes Everton did not make it 3-0 until the dying minutes of the game. Substitute Gary Naysmith converted another corner for the home side as they claimed a comfortable and valuable win over Portsmouth. The 3 points means Everton are virtually guaranteed a place in the UEFA Cup next season. The UEFA Cup is the second most prestigious tournament in Europe behind the UEFA Champions League. Not only does it give players and teams a chance of glory on a larger stage but it also provides a financial windfall for participating clubs through enhanced gate receipts and broadcast rights. This season an all Spanish La Liga final awaits with Espanyol v Seville later in the month. Everton will almost certainly enter Europe for the second time in 3 seasons sparking a revival for the Toffees and a viable alternative to Liverpool on Merseyside.
