Record signing Ayegbeni Yakubu struck twice to send Everton back into Europe for the third time in four seasons.
The £11million that boss David Moyes paid for Yakubu has clearly paid off, with fifth place now secured.
He took his tally for the campaign to 21, and became the first Everton player to top 20 since Peter Beardsley 16 years ago.
