Kewell made it two in two games, after scoring in Thursday-s UEFA Cup thriller against Swiss side Bellizona and backing up with another in Galatasaray-s 4-1 win away at Kocaelispor.
Cahill meanwhile started an Everton comeback after going two goals down against Hull City. Cahill blasted a shot off the underside of the bar that bounced down, according to the linesman, over the goal line before coming back out into play.
