After scoring during Everton's 3-1 victory over Coventry City on Friday night, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sent a message to Leicester City supporters on social media.
The midfielder left Leicester City to join Chelsea in 2024, but departed for Everton just a year later. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has since become something of a fan favourite on Merseyside and is enjoying yet another solid campaign so far.
His former side were playing in the FA Cup on Friday night, winning 4-2 against Oxford City while the Premier League saw Everton host Coventry City. The contrast was stark but Dewsbury-Hall made his feelings known immediately after the goal.

During the 2023/24 season, Dewsbury-Hall picked up 27 goal involvements to help Enzo Maresca's Leicester make an immediate return to the top flight. That included a brace against Coventry on the opening day of the season.
He also scored a third goal against them during a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, meanig three of his 12 goals that season were bagged against Leicester's midlands rivals.
Dewsbury'-Hall smashed home the third of a 3-1 win against Frank Lampard's Coventry last night, with the 28-year-old not holding back during his celebration whatsoever. He stuck his tongue out and pointed to the badge before kissing it against his old nemesis.
Speaking on social media platform X after the game, he said: "I just love playing against them lot πβ½οΈ"
This was in response to a fan pointing out the reaction Coventry's away fans had for he midfielder, having done the same recently away to Spurs against James Maddison.

Dewsbury-Hall has enjoyed quite the journey to becoming one of Everton's most influential players, having progressed through Leicester's academy before loan spells at Blackpool and Luton Town helped him establish himself in the senior side.
He was an instrumental figure in Leicester's 2023/24 Championship title success, earning that move to Chelsea before joining Everton in 2025. His form at Goodison Park has been excellent, registering eight Premier League goals and four assists last season before continuing to contribute this term.

Yet, despite taking plenty of responsibility on the ball and consistently catching the eye under David Moyes, he is still waiting for his first England call-up under Thomas Tuchel. With his work rate and ability to influence games, the 28-year-old can consider himself desperately unlucky to have missed out again this month and that was underlined last night.
