Everton cruises past Hull City

Soccer Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mikel Arteta scored his first two goals of the season, Landon Donovan added a goal and an assist, and Everton defeated Hull City 5-1 on Sunday at Goodison Park.

Arteta, limited to six EPL matches due to injury, scored both in the first and Donovan scored in the 82nd and assisted on Jack Rodwell's goal in the 86th.

Everton, which got its other score on an own goal, moved to eighth. Hull City, which is 0-11-4 on the road, remains in the bottom three.

Hull had a chance to open the scoring just five minutes into the match, but as Richard Garcia settled a through ball from Nick Barmby, Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard charged off his line and deflected his shot attempt just as it left his boot.

Ayegbeni Yakubu should have fired Everton into the lead in the 13th, but drove a 16-yard shot off the right post.

Yakubu made up for the miss four minutes later when he sent a pass in from the right to the far post, where Arteta ran onto the ball and hit a volley inside the near post to beat Hull goalie Boaz Myhill.

Everton was handed a chance to put the match away in the 28th when Yakubu was fouled in the area, but his weak penalty attempt was easily handled by Myhill.

Hull responded with the tying goal three minutes later through 19-year-old Tom Cairney. The young midfielder chested down a pass just outside the box and hit the ball before it reached the ground to unleash a dipping shot over Howard to the far post.

Everton was back in front within 10 minutes when George Boateng settled a pass in the area, then dropped the ball to Steven Pienaar, who rolled the ball with a back pass to Arteta for an easy finish.

Richard Garcia headed an Arteta cross into his own net six minutes after half, then Donovan came off the bench to finish off the victory in what could be his last match at Goodison.

Donovan, who will rejoin the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS soon, set up Yakubu for a chance he sent over the bar in the 74th but then added a goal and an assist.

Everton played a ball in from the left, and it slipped just by Rodwell in the center of the area and arrived to an open Donovan at the far post. Donovan hit the ball powerfully off a bounce, drilling it back inside the far post in the 82nd.

Donovan had another chance minutes later from a similar spot, but sent a pass back into the middle to Rodwell, who did well to finish just inside the right post.

The United States star joined Everton on loan in January and has two goals and three assists in just nine matches.
