Everton fans were once again treated to an absolutely delightful performance from summer signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
It has been quite the last few weeks for Everton, who have climbed up to fifth in the table following the win over Nottingham Forest.
Sean Dyche was sent back to the City Ground with nothing to show from his first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
There was so much to like about Everton’s performance as they made it back-to-back victories in the Premier League on the back of Tuesday night.
Dewsbury-Hall was at the centre of the victory after scoring and providing the cross which Nikola Milenkovic turned into his own net.
Following another dazzling display, David Moyes name-dropped Chelsea when waxing lyrical about the 28-year-old in his post-match interviews.

What David Moyes said about Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Chelsea
On the back of the win against Bournemouth, Dewsbury-Hall shared his thoughts on playing deeper in midfield.
This tactical change has brought out another level to the summer signing, who netted his fourth of the season against Forest.

Speaking after the game, Moyes made it clear to Chelsea just how good of a player they let go over the summer.
“He is a really good footballer, a dedicated footballer. We have given him the chance to play regularly which he missed at Chelsea, hopefully we can keep him at it,” Moyes told BBC Sport.
“He’s had to play deeper, but his performances have been very good.”
Earlier in the week, some Everton fans named Dewsbury-Hall as their next potential captain after seeing how he played against Bournemouth.
He was signed for £28m from the London outfit and that is quickly proving to be one of the bargains of the summer.
Dewsbury-Hall will be Everton’s most important player soon
Iliman Ndiaye will leave for AFCON on 15th December and that is really going to test the Everton side.
With their main man set to be absent for around a month, there is going to be a lot of pressure placed on his teammates to step up their games.
He had Forest on strings today. Is there currently a more in-form footballer in the Premier League? 👊

Dewsbury-Hall is pushing Ndiaye currently for the title of Everton’s most important player and Saturday proved exactly that.
Even The Friedkin Group have praised Dewsbury-Hall for the way he carries himself away from the pitch.
His goals will need to continue flowing in Ndiaye’s absence, but it will be encouraging to see Thierno Barry end his drought against Dyche’s side.
