What do we do now? We’ve won. That’s not something we’re built to prepare for.
Do we watch Match of the Day? Is that what those ‘winning teams,’ or so they’re called, do?
Regardless, it was a terrific performance. The first half was shaky but resilient, and the Toffees grew from strength to strength in the second period.
Richarlison, Bernard and Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line absolutely brilliantly, with the three looking as on-song as they have all season. DCL won everything he had to, Bernard was as much the explosive threat as ever, and Richarlison was always in dangerous positions, none more so than when he capitalised on an excellent header from Dom to score our first.
Our defenders, even with two changes amongst the four, were stalwart. Yerry Mina and Michael Keane never looked like conceding, and the two full-backs were constant threats in the second half.
A tremendous day, and a statement win for Mr Silva. Here are our Everton player ratings.
