Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has made a brilliant start to his Everton career, starring for David Moyes’ side so far this season.
Everton beat Wolves 3-2 on Saturday, with the midfielder smashing in the goal that would ultimately prove to be the match-winner.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall signed for Everton from Chelsea earlier in the summer, joining in a deal worth around £28million.
At Stamford Bridge, the 26-year-old was often left on the bench or out of the squad completely, playing the majority of his minutes in the Conference League last season.
Dewsbury-Hall was named in the Premier League team of the week for match week three, with the midfielder looking to have received a new lease of life at Everton.

Dewsbury-Hall was described as “the best player on the pitch” against Wolves, and for good reason.
The midfielder was everywhere at Molineux, constantly driving his team forward, but getting back to cut out attacks from the home side too.
Dewsbury-Hall ended the game having created three chances, scored a goal, provided an assist, and completed five recoveries.
It was a performance packed with energy and quality, proving key to continue Everton’s strong start to the Premier League season.

The former Leicester City man also notched two big chances created, adding to the one he had already created this season.
Three big chances created places Dewsbury-Hall among an esteemed trio of players to have created three or more in the Premier League so far this season, with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (three) and Bournemouth’s David Brooks (four) the other representatives, according to Sofascore.

Dewsbury-Hall’s appearance in the top three for big chances created this season is made even more impressive by his other stats.
The midfielder is deployed in a deeper role than both Brooks and Salah, represented by the 88 accurate passes the Englishman has completed compared to his opponents’ 40 and 47, respectively.
And Dewsbury-Hall is massively outweighing both players for key passes, too, his eight earning him a place among the top five in the league.
Dewsbury-Hall has also been given a 7.67 average rating for his start to the season, according to Sofascore’s rating system.
This places him among the top 11 in the Premier League.
It has been a spectacular start to the campaign for Moyes’ £28m man, and the Scot will be hoping the good form does not stop there.
