Sheffield United's bid for European qualification was ended as they lost 1-0 against Everton at Bramall Lane.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin came close to putting his side in front when he headed Theo Walcott's cross off a post from close range two minutes before the break.
Richarlison gave the Blues the lead less than a minute after the restart, glancing Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick into the bottom-left corner.
Calvert-Lewin might have doubled the Toffees' advantage, but was thwarted one-on-one by Dean Henderson.
Sheff Utd's best chance of an equaliser fell to George Baldock, but the defender headed over from six yards.
Defeat leaves the Blades eighth with 54 points, and they can no longer finish higher than that.
A first win in five matches takes Everton back above Southampton into 11th, with 49 points.
