RATINGS
Zouma 61, Calvert-Lewin 90+5 mirror.co.uk/sport/football
PICKFORD Good first-half save from Stanislas, and grew into the game COLEMAN
Strong performance down right, unlucky not to produce more
KEANE Booked
Great effort hit bar first half and stayed tough in middle ZOUMA Booked Lots to do in first half, but showed real power in the air for his goal DIGNE As consistent as ever, quality down the left in defence and attack
GUEYE
Lots of energy in the middle, and needed it as often overrun GOMES Booked Has suffered a dip of late, but still plenty of quality touches
LOOKMAN MOTM Everton’s best player by far in poor first half, showed class SIGURDSSON
Seemed to struggle with conditions, but grew in influence BERNARD Booked Frustrating mix of clever play and lack of killer touch around box RICHARLISON Booked
Not at his best right now, but still showed a real work ethic

AKE
Brilliant clearance from off the line and showed calm quality at back SMITH
Had a problem with the talented Lookman down flank

Energy in first half when caused problems but not maintained LERMA

Plays important role in middle, but not enough protection later

Has real quality and showed it early, but then denied service
