Calvert-lewin double ensures a

Everton caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson admits there were tears both during and after an emotional win over Chelsea at Goodison Park.

The former Toffees striker has been handed his dream job following the sacking of Marco Silva and he got off to the perfect start by lifting the club out of the bottom three.

Richarlison’s fifth-minute header had the Scot charging down the touchline celebrating with ball boys, a scene replicated when Dominic Calvert-lewin scored his second of the game six minutes from time after Mateo Kovacic’s first Premier League goal had briefly made it 2-1.

Ferguson said he was in tears after seeing the kids were in tears and there were more waterworks in the boardroom afterwards when he met his wife and children.

“It was just relief, excitement, but you still know there is a long way to go in the game so you’re not getting too carried away – although it didn’t feel like that at the time,” he said of his reaction to the first goal.

“I’d have hugged the linesman if he was there. It is just emotion, just such adrenaline. When you see the kids’ faces, I think one of them was in tears and I was in tears to be honest.

“It was an incredible feeling. I’ve scored goals for this club, I’ve been involved in finals, but that was incredible – not the goal, but getting the points. It is difficult to describe.

“I’ve popped into the boardroom to see the family and they were obviously delighted. Plenty of tears.”
