Everton may have lost Saturday’s match, but now the dust has settled, it’s worth noting just how impressive they actually were for 86 minutes of the game. They completely dominated, creating chance after chance and deservedly soaring into a 2-0 lead. Meanwhile, their opponents were nowhere to be seen.
And, it could have been much more too, with a few corners coming close and Seamus Coleman forging a golden opportunity for himself which was saved. It’s arguably this stellar showing which makes the end result, a 3-2 defeat, much harder to take.

The game against Bournemouth was stolen by Iliman Ndiaye. Iliman Ndiaye was utterly captivating throughout his performance on Saturday, so Coleman is right to single him out for praise. After a fantastic time at Sheffield United, there was a lot of excitement when the Senegal international joined Everton, and many people overlooked his most recent problems at Marseille. Rather, his transfer brought about nothing but goodwill, which was gradually validated by brief appearances against AS Roma in the preseason and Doncaster Rovers in the cup.
