Everton lost 2-1 to visiting Villarreal in the first leg of their third round Champions League tie on Tuesday.
The home side fell behind against the run of play when Luciano Figueroa powered in a precise angled shot in the 27th minute.
James Beattie equalised three minutes before half time when hisown header fell into the Villarreal box and he quickly pounced to flick in a shot.
But the visitors regained the lead in the first-half injury time with a superb diving header by midfielder Josico to put them back in front and they kept Everton at arm's length to secure victory.
