Everton made it sure their hard work didn’t get down the line as they cruised past Huddersfield Town in a stunning fashion. Goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped the Toffees to give new boss Sam Allardyce a rousing welcome at the Goodison Park.
Everton showed patches of improvement in the last match as they hammered a hapless West Ham United 4-0 and they carried off their positive momentum into the next game.
Three points from this match helped the Toffees to break into the top ten and they would surely take a lot from this match. Everton had the busiest summer as they spent in excess of £140m but things didn’t look very convinced in the earlier stages of the game.
But off late things have started to pick up pretty fast and Allardyce will have the responsibility to get their season back on track.
Everton Player Ratings:
Jordan Pickford- 6
Had a relatively quiet game as Huddersfield hardly tormented him. Was pretty controlled the proceedings well inside the box.
Ashley Williams- 7
Gave a glimpse of his old school defending. The Wales international was pretty quick as he dealt with the threat pretty well. A decent performance.
Mason Holgate- 7
Did look cautious a number of times but as the game went on he was looking more comfortable.
Cuco Martina- 6
Put a good shift on the left side of the defence.
Idrissa Gueye- 7
Was pretty pinpoint with his tackles and breaking up play. Recovered some good balls and made it look quite easy.
Tom Davies- 6
He needs to understand what it means being the first choice. Another poor performance from the youngster.
Wayne Rooney- 6
Struggled a bit was a rather impactful performance from him. Showed his great experience as he laid up a beautiful assist to Calvert-Lewin.
Aaron Lennon- 6
Made some good runs through the flanks.
Gylfi Sigurdsson- 7
At last a goal at Goodison park. The Icelandic playmaker started to have an impact as he looked comfortable pretty much. Netted the first goal with an excellent drive past Jonas Lossl and would be hoping to contribute more in upcoming days.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin- 8
The man of the match. His twist and turns made hassled the Huddersfield defenders as he tried to sneak into the penalty box a number of times. Thoroughly deserved the goal.
Substitutions
Morgan Schneiderlin- 5
Tried his part but couldn’t be able to grind out something.
Ademola Lookman- 5
Nothing brilliant from the youngster.
