Everton fans have applauded the performance of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin after his side’s 2-1 win against Newcastle United on Saturday.
The result saw the newly-appointed Carlo Ancelotti and his side move into the top 10 for the first time this season as the Toffees took all three points at Goodison Park.
The 22-year-old scored both goals on either side of half-time to seal the victory, and his team greatly benefitted from his ruthless finishing.

Along with his brace, he managed four shots inside the box, completed five key passes and was only dispossessed once as he recycled play efficiently.
Supporters were delighted with Calvert-Lewin after his performance and made their feelings clear on social media.

Great play from DCL that is. Proving all the doubters wrong, including myself!!

I have been critical of DCL in the past but happy to eat my words. Looks twice the player when we go more direct and he has a bit of support up top. Delighted for him.

So maybe this is why we didn’t replace lukaku. Coz we already had the replacement. Just needed to play to his strengths

A month ago he’d have missed that. In fact, he nearly did!

For ages? He’s only 22 and shouldn’t have been under so much scrutiny/pressure to begin with. Glad he’s been given time to grow into a quality striker.

Every manager that had Dom at youth level and England youth level told us how good he could be and it’s showing now we’re playing to his strengths
