# Everton: Fans drool over Djibril Sidibe’s performance against Chelsea

**Everton fans have heaped praise on right-back Djibril Sidibe after his performance during his side’s [3-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50611310) win against Chelsea on Saturday.**

Sidibe, 27, was an influential figure during Duncan Ferguson’s first match in charge of the Toffees and their first win at home in the Premier League since [October](https://uk.soccerway.com/teams/england/everton-football-club/674/matches/).

Marco Silva was [sacked](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11837062/marco-silva-sacked-what-went-wrong-at-everton) after a [5-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50666277) defeat to Liverpool in midweek, with the club legend taking temporary charge of the team until they find a successor.

Monaco loanee Sidibe was [criticised](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-vs-everton-player-ratings-21027861) for his performance against Liverpool. He was left red-faced as he was substituted during the first half after a change of shape.

However, Sidibe managed to turn his recent form around and produce a stunning performance against the 2012 Champions League winners:

> Sidibie was superb today at right back, as he was at Leicester. A defensive animal, an athlete, and a really productive winger offensively. [#EFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/EFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

He provided [three](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/10454/MatchStatistics/Djibril-Sidib%C3%A9) key passes during the game, with one of those turning into an assist. Defensively, he pulled off [seven](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/10454/MatchStatistics/Djibril-Sidib%C3%A9) tackles, [four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/10454/MatchStatistics/Djibril-Sidib%C3%A9) interceptions and [three](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/10454/MatchStatistics/Djibril-Sidib%C3%A9) clearances.

Supporters loved his showing and made their feelings clear on social media.

Here you will find some of the best comments from Everton fans on Sidibe’s performance:

> I can’t remember who it was but he volleyed a Chelsea player about 10 foot in the air in the middle of the park after about 80 mins. I’m a huge fan of him

> Fair play to the lad to react after being subbed in the last 2 games, never hid & that’s what we need, not convinced with him defensively but his crossing is spot on
