Both teams played a barren draw in the first half but the hosts continued with the pressure after the break in the 46th minute when Richarlison dispossessed Cesar Azpilicueta on the edge of the area and scored his ninth goal of the season.
The Brazilian celebrated by picking up a smoke bomb that had landed on to the pitch and throwing it back towards the stand.
Vitalii Mykolenko could have doubled the lead soon afterwards but skewed wide, and Everton were indebted to two stunning saves from Jordan Pickford to keep themselves in front.
