Dominic Calvert-Lewin looked to have finally ended his lengthy goal drought at Everton – only for his close-range header against Tottenham to be taken off him.
The striker, just the fourth player to reach 50 Premier League goals for his club, last found the net after scoring the winner against West Ham on October 29.
He has since drawn a blank in his subsequent 17 matches, however, and seen two goals chalked off in that time – including an effort for a supposed foul by Andre Gomes on Emerson Royal in the reverse fixture at Spurs in December.
Ahead of the home showdown against Ange Postecoglou‘s side, Sean Dyche insisted Calvert-Lewin still has belief and that his woes are a wider team failure.
But even after belatedly scoring during the first half on Saturday, Calvert-Lewin departed the stadium empty-handed after his goal was awarded to Jack Harrison.
