Everton need heroes and Sean Dyche might have just unearthed some.
Last season there was Richarlison. He has left. There was Jordan Pickford. He remains but can only do so much. And then, at the death, there was Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He may yet have his say in this difficult season.
But a side bereft of goals needs magic and desire to stay competitive. In Abdoulaye Doucoure, the scorer of the Blues' first goal in this draw at Stamford Bridge, Dyche has found a source of inspiration. In Ellis Simms, on Saturday night at least, he found some magic.
