Everton fans have taken to Twitter to heap praise on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, after the youngster played a pivotal role in the 2-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park.

The Toffees' victory was their first against a 'Top Six' opponent since their 4-0 win over Manchester City back in 2017, and whilst the likes of Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Yerry Mina starred, it was Calvert-Lewin who caught the eye most.

In this era of 'big 6' dominance, has finishing 7th become as good as winning a trophy? The Pl>ymaker FC squad have their say in the video below...

Everton's academy graduate has scored eight goals this season, and was involved in the build-up to the opening goal against Maurizio Sarri's men - it was the 21-year-old's header that led to Richarlison's opener, after Kepa Arrizabalaga parried his effort away.

Calvert-Lewin, an England Under-21 international, gave the Blues plenty to think about with his clever running into the channels, moving the backline around and helping his teammates find openings.

Most of his work often goes unnoticed as strikers tend to be judged on their goal tally, but it seems that the Toffees fans are beginning to realise what the 6 foot 2 attacker brings to the team.

His game is visibly beginning to improve, and Everton fans on Twitter have been quick to comment on his good showing on Sunday...
