Everton finally managed to break their winless streak in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
With two goals from the “incredible” Dwight McNeil, the Toffees finally managed to get their first Premier League win of the season on 28 September.
Everton now find themselves sixteenth in the table and while they’re still only one point from the bottom three, they’ve managed to put themselves in a far better position.
However, as has always been the case, things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract is hanging over the heads of those at Everton with the striker not yet accepting a new deal despite the door being open for him [Liverpool ECHO, 28 September].
If an extension can’t be agreed, this could force the Toffees’ hand in selling the striker during the January window so that they don’t lose him on a free transfer in the summer.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed for Everton exit?
The striker has led Everton’s attacking line for as long as many can remember now with the former Sheffield United man often being the focal point of their attack.
Sean Dyche does have both Beto and Armando Broja within his ranks but with the latter still out injured and the former being in some of the worst form in his career, it feels as if the club are stuck with Calvert-Lewin leading their line.
