Striker Calvert-Lewin scores first goal in five months
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has opened up about his fitness problems, and has revealed that he’s been injured three times in the last four months. He has made only five appearances for Everton since January 2, and has scored three Premier League goals in that time. But it’s clear that this spell of injury has taken its toll on the striker.
Calvert-Lewin’s first goal for the Toffees came in the 11th minute, after the hosts raced out of the blocks. After a poor opening period, Everton came out with intent and tempo to beat Crystal Palace. They also pressed and got the ball to striker Calvert-Lewin who swept it past Vicente Guehi.
Everton striker Calvert-Lewin has kept Everton in the Premier League with his goal against Crystal Palace. The striker has been plagued with injuries throughout the past year, and he will hopefully be fit for the Manchester United game on Saturday.
Iwobi grabs a brace of assists
Alex Iwobi grabbed a brace of assists as Evertton eased past Palace on Saturday, ending a losing run that began on Monday. Everton were the better side for much of the game, dominating possession and creating a number of chances. Chris Wood was a nuisance at one end, but Pickford made an excellent save to keep Everton in the game. Gylfi Sigurddson’s effort was also denied by Pope.
The Argentinean midfielder was causing problems for the Toffees from the first whistle, but he needs to be more consistent. His performance against Palace was hampered by his lack of decisiveness up front, and he failed to make his presence felt in the attacking half. He completed just four dribbles out of five, but lacked an end product. His two assists came on top of a good passing performance.
Arsenal have won their last four games and have only lost one. This result is a good result for Emery, who is having a difficult time finding fit defenders to stop opposition attack. Arsenal are now two points ahead of Everton and are looking forward to a busy weekend.
Substitute Dwight McNeil impresses
Everton end their losing run with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Toffees start brightly, and Calvert-Lewin’s early opener gives the visitors the lead. But it isn’t long before the visitors are level. After a long ball, Calvert-Lewin cleverly turns and fires in from close range. However, the Palace defence fails to deal with the danger and Guaita makes a parry to save the ball. A second goal comes soon after as Calvert-Lewin taps in a free-kick from Iwobi.
The visitors made a bright start to the second half, but Everton’s defenders were able to contain the Eagles’ attacks. Anthony Gordon’s 63rd-minute goal was initially disallowed for offside but VAR overturned the decision. The home side then added a third to seal the win. Despite the result, Everton are now five points behind league leaders Arsenal, while Brighton remain in eighth.
The win ended Everton’s three-match losing run in the Premier League. It was the first victory for the Toffees in the league since February. The Toffees now sit in 11th place after this win. Crystal Palace meanwhile, remain in 12th after their third straight defeat.
