The men of silva didnt learn their lesson by Hendricks first-half opportunity, and the Republic of Ireland midfielder – who scored the winner against Everton at Goodison two seasons ago – was available to fire home stunt from Westwood delivery.
This was the goal Everton have surrendered from a set-piece beneath Silva and, while Michael Keane missed a chance to par, Burnley could have extended their lead if Jay Rodriguez was denied by Pickford.
Westwood took full advantage of the insistence of Everton on zonal indicating with Hendrick lashing from the pinpoint delivery to the defining moment of your game of the midfielder.
But it the performance that stood out, with the Burnley man regaining possession on 14 occasions – more than every other participant, alongside his game-high two passes.
