Dominic Calvert-Lewin was able to last longer than Sean Dyche had anticipated and later told his managers he felt ‘fine’ after returning for Everton in their 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
Calvert-Lewin started the match at Selhurst Park and played for 90 minutes before being withdrawn for Neal Maupay. Within that period the England striker showed glimpses of what he can bring to a team that has lacked an experienced, natural targetman for the 10 games he has been absent through a hamstring injury.
It was Calvert-Lewin's first appearance since playing the opening hour of Dyche’s first game as Blues boss back in February and he tweeted after the game: “We know what we have to do. Thanks travelling Toffees!”
