Everton are flying in the Premier League after two wins on the bounce, giving David Moyes an exciting season to look forward to.
The Toffees triumphed 3-2 over Wolves at Molineux, as the scoreline doesn’t reflect the performance from Everton, as a bigger winning margin was deserved.
Jack Grealish was a standout, but fans loved Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s performance, as the midfielder is settling in nicely in Moyes’ side.
After the win against Brighton, the worry was whether consistency was going to be found, but the win proved that things are changing.
Along with the standout performances though, one player has started the season off so well.

James Garner was brilliant again for Everton against Wolves
There are many stars in the squad that fans can take their hats off to, but James Garner will be someone who goes under the radar.
Once again, the 24-year-old showed his ability, as after Garner showed his quality at left-back, he did the same in the middle of the park against Wolves.

His versatility is one thing, but the midfielder’s passing has been top-notch, as the former Man United man started the move for Beto’s opener.

Garner knew he would have a challenge on his hands to keep his place in the squad this season, but he is proving the Everton fans wrong after their past comments.
James Garner is showing why he is a ‘key’ player for Everton
With Garner now in his fourth season with the club, Moyes will be looking for him to step up, and he has done this superbly.
Not only did the 24-year-old shine with his tackling alongside Idrissa Gana Gueye, but his passing played it’s part in Everton’s victory.
It’s a big season for the midfielder, and after Everton fans didn’t believe Garner was a ‘key’ player, he’s certainly making them eat their words so far this campaign.
At the moment, it can be argued he’s equally as important as the likes of Grealish and Dewsbury-Hall, and it’s clear Garner is crucial to Moyes’ set-up.
Fans might have judged the midfielder too harshly, as this season is proving to be a chance where he can really show his quality.
