Leon Osman's second goal in as many games gave Everton victory over Swansea City and only their third home win of the season.<br /><br />The midfielder had just wasted a good chance, toe-poking Phil Neville's free-kick at Swansea keeper Michel Vorm, when he headed the hosts in front.<br /><br />Osman guided Roysten Drenthe's right-wing corner past Vorm to seal their first victory in four games.<br /><br />Danny Graham's close-range header was Swansea's only chance in a poor game.<br /><br />But Everton boss David Moyes will not mind how his side secured victory as the Toffees beat a newly promoted side and kept a home clean sheet for the first time this season.<br /><br />Everton's triumph could have been greater if referee Kevin Friend had awarded a penalty when Ashley Williams's arm blocked a seemingly goal-bound shot from substitute Magaye Gueye in the first half.<br /><br />But Osman's winner proved decisive in a game between two of the lowest scorers in the top-flight this season as Everton extended their all-time unbeaten record against the Welsh team.<br /><br />The hosts edged a forgettable first half and, with chances at a premium, Everton pair Johnny Heitinga and Louis Saha both missed the target with headers.<br /><br />And when the hosts finally found their way through the visiting defence, goalkeeper Vorm, so often Swansea's hero this season, once again did the business.<br /><br />Gueye, who had replaced the injured Seamus Coleman, hit Leighton Baines' cut-back goalwards.<br /><br />But the Swans goalkeeper kept out the Everton midfielder with a superb one-handed save before Williams blocked Gueye's rebound.<br /><br />The second effort hit Wales defender Williams's arm but Everton players did not appeal and no penalty was awarded.<br /><br />Drenthe, Everton's main goal threat, then went close with a curling 20-yard free-kick at the end of the opening period.<br /><br />Osman did hit the target early on in the second half but his tame poke from Neville's quickly taken free-kick was easily dealt with by Vorm.<br /><br />But somehow Everton's little midfielder did find space in the Swansea
