Everton continued their mini revival after a deserved 2-1 Carabao Cup win at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

James Garner\u2019s first Toffees goal and Dominic Calvert-Lewin\u2019s strike fired the visitors into the fourth round.<\/p>\n

Boubacar Kamara\u2019s late strike gave the scoreline a flattering look after Everton bossed much of the game against their disappointing hosts.<\/p>\n

Villa routed the Toffees 4-0 in the Premier League last month but Sean Dyche\u2019s side have begun to mount their recovery following a wretched start.<\/p>\n

Successive victories for the first time under Dyche \u2013 and first for a year \u2013 will continue to rouse the Toffees. With Luton and Bournemouth next to visit Goodison Park there is the chance to find real momentum.<\/p>\n

For Villa, whose last major trophy was the 1996 League Cup, it was another disappointing night for a club which so desperately wants to challenge the elite.<\/p>\n

They will continue to remain on the fringes with similar performances as they strive for consistency, having won 1-0 at Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n

There was never any sign Unai Emery\u2019s side would build on that result during a sloppy display where they were outfought and overpowered.<\/p>\n

Youri Tielemans\u2019 half-volley landed on the roof of the net after seven minutes but that was as good as it got in the first half.<\/p>\n

Everton quickly found a tempo which the hosts struggled with and one which, ultimately, forced a 15th-minute opener.<\/p>\n

Robin Olsen was put under pressure and his poor clearance landed kindly for Amadou Onana on the edge of the area, before Calvert-Lewin and Arnaut Danjuma worked the ball back to him.<\/p>\n

The midfielder then clipped a cute ball through to Garner to lash in from 10 yards with the Villa defence static.<\/p>\n

They looked ropey and anxious for the rest of the half as the hosts failed to clear their lines and were unnerved by Everton\u2019s pressing and Danjuma\u2019s direct running.<\/p>\n

Only an outstanding reflex save from Olsen stopped John McGinn slicing into his own net six minutes before half time after another Danjuma burst embarrassed Ezri Konsa and Matty Cash.<\/p>\n

Two minutes later the goalkeeper denied Calvert-Lewin as he tried to round him, the striker putting the rebound wastefully into the sidenetting.<\/p>\n

It was a let-off and one Villa should have capitalised on but Jhon Duran fired wildly over in stoppage time to sum up their wayward first half.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly Unai Emery had seen enough, replacing Duran, McGinn and Leander Dendoncker with Ollie Watkins, Kamara and Lucas Digne at the break.<\/p>\n

But it did nothing to improve the hosts and they self destructed five minutes after the restart.<\/p>\n

There was little pressure on Tielemans 40-yards out but his pass sold Konsa short and Calvert-Lewin nipped in to streak clear and roll past the exposed Olsen.<\/p>\n

A smart Jordan Pickford save from Moussa Diaby stopped the hosts pulling a goal back immediately but there was no sense of a comeback.<\/p>\n

Olsen thwarted Calvert-Lewin just after the hour and it looked like Everton would comfortably see the game out.<\/p>\n

Yet, Kamara set up a nervy end with eight minutes left when his deflected strike from 20 yards wrong-footed Pickford to creep in.<\/p>\n

The goalkeeper saved from Diaby in stoppage time and Douglas Luiz hooked over during a frantic finish but it was too little, too late.<\/p>\n
