Jagielka - 7
Barely troubled by Diego Costa, helped ensure Everton were rarely under much pressure.
Galloway - 7
Impressive going forward, contributing well to the opener.
Besic - N/A
Lasted just eight minutes, ending a miserable week for the Bosnian for club and country.
McCarthy - 8
Dominated midfield against more high-profile opponents; linked defence and attack brilliantly.
Barry - 6
Solid as ever, but might have expected to have even more to do.
Barkley - 7
Decision-making was still lacking at times, but looked capable of anything when he had the ball.
Kone - 7
Denied a goal by a brilliant Begovic stop and linked up well with team-mates in the final third.
Lukaku - 6
Took his time coming into the game and tried to be over-careful at times, but improved greatly after half-time.
Subs:
Naismith - 9
A perfect hat-trick from a player who loves competing against the biggest sides in the league.
Lennon and Funes Mori - N/A
Both helped preserve Everton's advantage in the final 20 minutes.
Mikel - 6
Had a thankless task in his first league start of the season, but was relatively composed and picked up an assist for Matic's goal.
Pedro - 5
Seemed rather blunt - after hitting the ground running, perhaps the international break came at a bad time.
Cesc Fabregas - 5
Offered little after being tasked with a more attacking role - his post-Christmas slump continues.
Eden Hazard - 5
It hasn't happened for the Belgian this season. Tried hard to force the issue but was well-contained by Everton's back-line.
Diego Costa - 6
Worked tirelessly but the support wasn't there. Had more of a presence than in earlier games, though.
Substitutes
Kenedy - 5
Being tasked with dragging the team back into the game was always going to be tough, but he showed some nice touches
Falcao and Willian - N/A
Didn't have much time to make a difference, but it didn't seem an extra 20 minutes would have necessarily brought different results.Boston locals slam England fans over chant they sang in pub
While The Tartan Army got all the praise England and Scotland fans still won’t be getting along it seems, even if the rules on progression from this World Cup could mean that the Scottish fans are cheering on a big victory for The Three Lions. As England prepare to take on Ghana tonight (Tuesday 23 […]
