    19/01/2026 Duration: 01h07min

    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas on the Royal Blue podcast to dissect Everton’s magnificent away win at third‑placed Aston Villa. The Blues flew out of the blocks, hitting the post after just 11 seconds, and overcame a contentious offside call and VAR drama to take all three points—another famous result on the road. Standout displays from Jordan Pickford, James Garner, Merlin Rohl and Thierno Barry—who sealed it with a lovely dink over the keeper—take centre stage. With the victory lifting Everton to 10th, just three points off a European spot, the panel assesses what it means for the weeks ahead.
