Everton v Leeds United player ratings: Gordon shines
Everton outplayed Leeds United and enjoyed a 3-0 win at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
Anthony Gordon, Seamus Coleman and Michael Keane scored the goals for the hosts to give Frank Lampard his first league victory.
They never looked at any risk of dropping points, dominating the game from start to finish.
Here’s how we rated the Toffees on the afternoon:
Jordan Pickford 6
One of his more comfortable afternoons in goal for Everton. Had very little to do all game.
Seamus Coleman 8
Many believed his time in the first team had come to an end, but he rolled back the years with a tireless performance. He ran up and down the pitch and got a deserved goal for his efforts.
Mason Holgate 6
Appeared a tad shaky with some of his passes, but had other players around him who were at the top of their games.
Michael Keane 8
Scored a brilliant header and appeared to be resolute while trying to keep out the Leeds attackers. Solid performance.
Jonjoe Kenny 6
Had a few moments of ineptitude and also found himself out of position on a couple of occasions. Despite that, he would be thrilled that he got to play 90 minutes, but he still does not seem ready to be a first-team regular.
Anthony Gordon 9
The star of the show in what was his best ever performance for Everton at Goodison Park. Did not put a foot wrong, kept threatening the Leeds goal and despite not taking a shot for it, got credit for the third strike. Complete performance from the youngster.
Allan 6
A tidy afternoon for the unsung hero in the middle of the park. Was second to a few duels, but apart from that, Lampard will have few things to fault him with.
Donny van de Beek 7
The Dutchman was extremely mobile from the start. Linked up well with players around him and he would be pleased with his performance.
Alex Iwobi 7
A rare impressive game from the Nigerian who continues to polarise opinion among the Toffees fans. Many did not want him starting this one, but he did well enough to silence his critics.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin 4
Not the best of games for the Everton fan favourite. He’s returned from an injury and still appears to be a tad leggy.
Richarlison 6
Unlucky not to have been credited for the third goal as it deflected off Gordon to find the back of the net.
