The 26 year-old appeared to be in some discomfort as he made his way around the pitch at the final whistle of Sunday's win over Manchester United and reports from Belgium that his League season is over have now been proved correct. Mirallas is expected to be out for a month but should make the World Cup Finals in Brazil.
Everton return to winning ways with convincing win over United

Everton 2 - 0 Manchester United

Everton completed the double over Manchester United and moved back to within a point of Arsenal with a convincing 2-0 win. Leighton Baines slotted home a 28th-minute penalty after Phil Jones had handled Romelu Lukaku's shot and Kevin Mirallas then doubled the advantage, collecting Seamus Coleman's pass and smashing past David de Gea from the angle. The Blues suffocated any attempt by David Moyes's side to get back into the game and Tim Howard denied Wayne Rooney with a superb late save to preserve the clean sheet.
