Richarlison scored his first goal since 30th September.

Attack:

Alex Iwobi – 7

Often criticized as a laggard player, Iwobi has turned the tables around in the space of a few games. The Nigerian was bright, full of ideas and brimming with confidence. Again, his crossing needs to be polished but a lot of progress is being made in a short span of time so you cannot really complain.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 7

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a subpar game considering the standards he has set for himself this season. He was running down the channels but not a very fruitful night for the 23 year old. Despite an uncharacteristic game in front of the goal, DCL was selfless and worked hard off the ball.

Richarlison – 8

After a long long wait, Richarlison finally found his shooting boots to score his second Premier League goal of the season. His industrious nature aids Everton in ways that many can’t imagine as he constantly made runs up and down the left flank to be a part of the attack as well as help the Toffees out in defence. It was not a perfect display but a much needed confidence booster for Richarlison.
