Everton put in a fine performance to beat Chelsea on Saturday night – and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall continued his superb form.
David Moyes’ side won 3-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, and are now just three points behind fifth-placed Liverpool.
Everton fans, who was your standout performer in the 3-0 win over Chelsea?
So many unbelievable Toffees performers at HDS!
Beto and Iliman Ndiaye were on target for the Toffees, with the former scoring a brace.
It was perhaps the best game yet at Hill Dickinson, with the fans really playing a big role in setting the tone.
Indeed, the footage Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall shared showed supporters lining the streets ahead of kick-off, with the midfielder suggesting they helped create the right atmosphere.
Dewsbury-Hall went on to have a great game, which was just the ticket after he was harshly snubbed by Thomas Tuchel for the latest England squad.

There was brilliant news at Everton earlier this week when James Garner was called up.

But Dewsbury-Hall didn’t get the nod from Tuchel, which left a lot of Evertonians scratching their heads.
Dewsbury-Hall has been absolutely instrumental in Everton’s current position, scoring six goals and making five assists for teammates.
Against his former club Chelsea, Dewsbury-Hall didn’t add to his goal involvements tally – but that’s not to say he didn’t make an impact.

I felt he was absolutely excellent against the Blues, particularly in terms of his pressing. And that was no surprise – Dewsbury-Hall has made the most pressures for Everton this season.
He was tireless for Everton, but also offered plenty of threat. Several times he pulled out to the left side, and he and Iliman Ndiaye gave Malo Gusto a torrid time.
As per Sofascore data, no Everton player made more than his four tackles. He also contested the most duels (15) out of any player in the game from either side (winning nine, again the most).
With Thomas Tuchel naming a larger squad this time around, it was even more frustrating to see Dewsbury-Hall miss out.
But the 27-year-old arguably made the England manager look a little silly with just how well he played against Chelsea.
What a win at Hill Dickinson Stadium! 💥
Everton fans, is that the best Toffees performance of the season?! Let us know your thoughts on that stunning victory…

In his press conference, Tuchel didn’t explain why Dewsbury-Hall missed out.
Perhaps it was ultimately due to the fact that the star missed a number of games earlier this year through injury, which saw other players in his position take advantage.
But one thing is for sure. If he continues to play like this, it won’t be long until Dewsbury-Hall followed Garner into the squad.
