Carlo Ancelotti kicked off his tenure as Everton manager with a deserved win over Burnley at Goodison Park.
It was a frustrating game at times with Everton dominating the lion’s share of possession, only to fail on many occasions to do anything with it.
Djibril Sidibe’s inclusion as a right winger raised some eyebrows before kick-off, but his excellent delivery for Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s winner erased doubts over his quality and Ancelotti’s decision-making.
The Frenchman swung a ball deep into the box with around ten minutes of play remaining, and Calvert-Lewin’s diving header tucked neatly in the corner past Nick Pope to give Everton their first goal and first three points under the Italian coach.
Everton will now travel to St James’ Park on Saturday to face Newcastle as they look to make it back to back wins under the former Napoli boss.
Here is how we rated the Everton players from their latest Premier League encounter against the Clarets.
