# Everton: Fans praise Yerry Mina for kind gesture after Southampton victory

**Everton fans have [heaped](https://twitter.com/peterjmacca/status/1193218555090747397?s=12) praise on defender Yerry Mina for his kind gesture after his side’s [2-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50271771) win against Southampton on Saturday.**

Goals from Tom Davies and Richarlison ensured that the Blues picked up three points and lifted them away from the relegation places and into 15th spot in the Premier League table.

Danny Ings got an equaliser for the home side five minutes into the second half, but it was not enough to get anything out of the game and sees them remain in the relegation zone.

The victory for Marco Silva’s side was their [first](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/everton-beat-southampton-2-1-for-first-away-win-of-the-season_sto7531608/story.shtml) away win of the season and a big moment for the Portuguese manager after the intense scrutiny he has found himself under in recent weeks.
