Tim Howard and Everton did something this weekend that they had yet to do this season. 

The Toffees finally won.

Howard and Everton earned their first three points of the Premiership campaign as they defeated Birmingham, 2-0, at St Andrews Stadium. The result marked Howard's second cleansheet of the season despite him not having to make a save in the match.

This weekend was one to remember for Luis Robles, who earned his first start for his new club, Karlsruhe. Robles helped Karlsruhe avoid defeat while also improving his chances of getting more playing time with five saves in the club's 1-1 draw against FC Ingolstadt 04.

It wasn't all good news this weekend. Jermaine Jones was ejected from Schalke 04's 2-1 loss against Nurnberg, while Jonathan Spector once again failed to dress for West Ham United in its 1-1 draw with Fulham.
