Everton cannot seem to catch a break at the moment; if they are not dealing with disputing results, they are suffering injury problems.

On Sunday, both scenarios occurred as the Toffees were beaten 4-1 by Southampton at St Mary's.

The team conceded goals from Dusan Tadic, Steven Davis and two from Charlie Austin.

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a goal that was very easy on the eye, but it will not be remembered too fondly due to the overall result.

During the game, David Unsworth, who is in temporary charge of the first team, was forced into substitutions when Leighton Baines and Michael Keane were struck down with injuries.

The extent of the problems are not yet known, but it pours doubt over the midweek fixture against West Ham United.

After the final whistle, Unsworth spoke to the media and discussed the injuries suffered.

Discontented fans reacted in anger to the comments, with some suggesting that Keane, who joined the club in the summer, faked injury.
