Here are the Everton player ratings for the game against Fulham.
Everton finally got back to winning ways after three dreadful losses in a row. The Toffees also welcomed back their Brazilian talisman Richarlison after his 3 match suspension ended. Everton were nearly running riot in the first half apart from the defensive lapse that saw Fulham equalize.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a brace, opening the scoring in just 40 seconds and Richarlison picking up an assist. Abdoulaye Doucoure also scored his first Everton goal, heading from a delicious Lucas Digne cross. The second half saw Everton at times fall to Fulham’s pressure despite having the lead, highlighting Toffees’ problems in closing down a winning position.
In the end, Carlo Ancelotti’s men were able to hold onto the lead and take away 3 points from Craven Cottage, continuing their successful trips to London. Here are the Everton player ratings:
Jordan Pickford – 6
Couldn’t do much to stop either of the Fulham goals but was assuring overall. Perhaps, ball distribution could have been better from Pickford, otherwise a solid outing at Craven Cottage. Pickford needs to build on this and continue his good patch of form in the upcoming games.
