SUB: Fabian Delph (Sigurdsson 58') - 6: The midfielder was forced to cover at left-back following Digne's sending off. AFP
SOUTHAMPTON RATINGS: Alex McCarthy - 6: Other than a Sigurdsson effort that rattled his crossbar the Southampton keeper had precious little else to do. AFP
Kyle Walker-Peters - 7: Defended well and looked to break forward at every opportunity. Thankfully avoided a nasty injury after Digne's clumsy challenge led to a red card for the Everton left-back. AFP
Jan Bednarek - 7: Made several interventions to snuff out Everton attacks before they even had the chance to develop. AFP
Jannik Vestergaard - 8: The giant Dane won everything in the air, everything on the ground and forced a fingertip save from Pickford. AFP
Ryan Bertrand - 7: Linked really well with Armstrong down Southampton's left and had a decent shout for a penalty waved away. EPA
Nathan Redmond - 7: A constant menace but let down by poor decision making on occasion. Reuters
Oriol Romeu - 8: The Spaniard shielded his defence brilliantly. Crisp and simple passing and stung Pickford's hands twice with long-range efforts. AFP
James Ward-Prowse - 8: Few players strike the ball better than the Englishman as seen with his unstoppable effort to put Saints ahead. EPA
Stuart Armstrong - 7: Full of running and popped up on both wings to cause the Everton defence headaches all round. AFP
Danny Ings - 8: Southampton's main source of goals turned provider today with two assists. EPA
Che Adams - 7: Showed a cool head to slot home his side's second and linked well with his teammates. Reuters
SUBS: Ibrahima Diallo (Armstrong 86') - N/A; Dan N'Lundulu (Adams 89') - N/A: Neither sub had any time to make an impact with the match already won. EPA
EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 7: Fine stops to deny Romeu and Vestergaard. Distribution solid as per. AFP
Ben Godfrey - 6: Stuck to his task in the unfamiliar role of right-back but Everton really missed the enterprise and leadership of Seamus Coleman. AFP
Yerry Mina - 6: The Colombian won his fare share of aerial battles but struggled with Southampton's runners. AFP
Michael Keane - 8: Tackled his heart out and tried to instigate attacks from the back. AFP
Lucas Digne - 5: Even before his red card the Frenchman had an afternoon to forget against Saints. AFP
Abdoulaye Doucoure - 5: The Frenchman was a non-factor at either end with Southampton playing through him at will. EPA
Allan - 6: Everton's enforcer came off second best against Romeu and Ward-Prowse. EPA
James Rodriguez - 6: The Colombian cut a frustrated figure throughout. Reuters
Gylfi Sigurdsson - 5: Recalled to the side and had Everton's best chance when his rasping drive crashed against the bar. That was about as much influence as he exerted on the game before being replaced midway through the second half. AFP
Alex Iwobi - 4: Started on the left of Everton's midfield but his afternoon was defined by a poor attempt to control a Rodriguez pass with his chest that he completely mistimed. Replaced at half time. AFP
Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 4: The league's top scorer only had one touch of the ball in Southampton's penalty area, and the less said about that the better. Reuters
SUB: Bernard (Iwobi 45') - 5: Was arguably even less effective than the man he replaced on the left of Everton's midfield. AFP
SUB: Anthony Gordon (Doucoure 58') - 6: The young winger was Everton's best attacking player by a distance in his half-hour cameo. Reuters
