A goal right at the end of the first half by Yerry Mina proved to be the winner for hosts Everton.
Captain Rob Holding had earlier diverted Dominic Calvert-Lewin's effort past Bernd Leno for the opening goal, but we got on terms via a Nicolas Pepe penalty.
The Ivory Coast international duly tucked home from 12 yards after Ainsley Maitland-Niles was felled in the box.
But we were unable to draw level a second time, despite David Luiz hitting the bar in the second half.
