Loads of Everton fans have been heaping praise on midfielder Bernard following their side’s 1-0 win against Brighton on Saturday.
The 27-year-old played 72 minutes of the action as his team got back to winning ways at Goodison Park following a difficult transitional period since the arrival of their new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The win is their first of 2020 after back-to-back defeats against Manchester City in the Premier League and their hated neighbours in the FA Cup.
How boss was Bernard today, by the way?! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/Ng833MChhv
