# Everton: Fans heap praise on Dominic Calvert-Lewin after Newcastle outing

**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](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3055933) shots inside the box, completed [five](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3055933) key passes and was only dispossessed [once](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3055933) as he recycled play efficiently.

Supporters were delighted with Calvert-Lewin after his performance and made their feelings clear on social media.

Here you will find some of the best comments from Everton fans:

> 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

> 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
