James Tarkowski described the moment he looked up and saw “big Yerry” score a goal that could be crucial to Everton’s Premier League survival.
Tarkowski played a key role in the chaos at the back post that led to centre-back partner Mina salvaging a vital point against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
The England international rose above Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Bentley to keep Everton’s final attack alive. And he recovered from his role in winning that ball just in time to watch the Colombian spark scenes of relief and jubilation in the away end after Michael Keane squared Tarkowski’s header into his path.
