scored in the 59th minute, and Cahill notched his third of the day in the 71st to secure the victory. Everton's next match – their only match at Goodison during the entire pre-season – was a 2–0 victory for the Brotherhood Cup over their namesake, Chile
an club Everton de Viña del Mar. Everton's goals both came in the second half, one each from Beckford and Bilyaletdinov, and referee Mark Halsey
made his return to a welcoming crowd following his year-long hiatus from football due to a bout with lymphoma
. The match featured several firsts. It was the first time that a Chilean club had ever been invited to play a match in Europe, and it was also the first time that Everton had ever faced one of their namesake clubs, which also exist in Argentina and Uruguay. Everton suffered their first loss of the pre-season in their final summer friendly, 2–0, away to German
club Wolfsburg
. Wolfsburg outplayed Everton throughout the match and went into the break with both goals already scored, one each from Mario Mandžukić
and Karim Ziani
.

. In the fourteenth minute, goalkeeper Tim Howard
mishandled the ball, dropping it at the feet of Nikola Kalinić
, who put the ball in the net. Following the game, manager David Moyes
came to the defense of Howard, saying that the team's lack of attacking pressure from the forwards and midfielders were equally to blame for the loss. Everton's second match saw the club earn their first point of the season in a 1–1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers
at Goodison Park
. Everton controlled possession and had more chances throughout much of the first half – Wolves manager Mick McCarthy
going so far a saying that Wolves were "hopeless in the first half" – but a 43rd minute goal by Tim Cahill
was the only score of the first half. Wolves' 4–4–2 formation was scrapped by McCarthy in the second half in favor of a 4–5–1, which resulted in a more closely contested match. Wolves got the equaliser off the foot of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
, who tapped in a cross from Kevin Doyle
during a fast break in the 74th minute. Everton's third match of the season saw the Toffees drop three points to Aston Villa
, losing 1–0. Everton held advantages in possession and corner kicks earned, 68%–32% and 18–4, respectively, but were unable to turn their offensive pressure into a goal. Villa's goal came in the ninth minute when right back Luke Young charged up the center of the field and finished a pass from Ashley Young for his first goal in 22 months. With only one point through three matches, it marked Everton's worst start in a league season in over a decade.

held him out of the lineup in order to spare him from verbal abuse from Everton fans in regards to a recent personal allegation. Steven Pienaar
opened the scoring in the 39th minute. United, however, scored the next three goals – one apiece from Darren Fletcher
, Nemanja Vidić
, and Dimitar Berbatov
– for a 3–1 lead. Ultimately, though, the Toffees were able to salvage a point by scoring two injury time goals, first by Cahill and then by Mikel Arteta
, for the 3–3 draw. Everton dropped the full three points to their next opponent, Newcastle United
, losing 1–0 on a Hatem Ben Arfa
goal scored just before half-time. In Everton's final match of September, the club travelled to Craven Cottage

in the 214th Merseyside Derby
. Liverpool's new owners, John W. Henry

with a strike from just outside the 18-yard box in the second half. The following week Everton travelled to White Hart Lane

scored the only goal of the match in the 67th minute, with a left footed finish after Tim Cahill's shot hit the woodwork, handing Everton the win and also breaking his own 6 month goal drought.

's goal. Six minutes later Marouane Fellaini
was sent off, in his first match after returning from injury, after lashing out at Paul Robinson after the latter's tackle. It appeared that the result would not go Everton's way, however substitute Jermaine Beckford
ensured Everton would earn a point after his strike, which met the top corner of the net from the left side of the penalty area, in the fourth minute of extra time. This result stretched Everton's unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches. Everton then hosted Arsenal, having lost the previous season's corresponding fixture 1 – 6, Everton were looking to improve on this result. Jack Rodwell
played in his first match after injury, substituting on at half time, in a losing effort for the home side. Everton conceded a goal either side of half-time to Bacary Sagna
and Cesc Fàbregas
, before Tim Cahill
got one back two minutes from full-time. With the end result being 1 – 2, Everton lost their first league match since September. Everton's next match was a Monday night fixture away against Sunderland
