Priceless points for Everton

FOURTH-PLACED Everton re-established their seven-point lead over neighbours Liverpool with a narrow victory over Norwich at Goodison Park last night.

The visitors had battled bravely throughout and could have been ahead had Dean Ashton and Darren Huckerby not wasted glorious second-half chances.

But in the end it was the influence of Duncan Ferguson, on as a late substitute, who caused the chaos which saw Everton grab a priceless victory.
