Everton v Nottingham Forest: Ian Wright gushes over Dwight McNeil as footage emerges
Ian Wright has been blown away by Dwight McNeil’s goal as Everton secured a key 1-0 away win against Nottingham Forest.
The Toffees started the game at the River Ground in 20th place and needed to get three points after Burnley’s resounding 5-0 win against Sheffield United.
McNeil’s goal was the only one in the game as Sean Dyche’s held on to secure the three points.
Wright said on Premier League Productions (02 December, 19:28): “That was a brilliant goal. You’ve got to still ask questions from the Nottingham defenders. They should be closing him down.”
Stunning
McNeil’s winning goal for Everton against Nottingham Forest solidifies his importance as one of Sean Dyche’s key players.
Dyche has quickly recognised McNeil’s value, and the winger’s ability to make a decisive impact underlines his significance to his tactical setup.
The Englishman’s goal demonstrates not only his clinical finishing but also his understanding of Dyche’s strategic approach.
Known for his work rate, creativity, and adeptness in both attacking and defensive duties, McNeil epitomises the qualities Dyche values in a player.
He’s capable of playing on either flank and that just showcases just how vital he is to the Toffees side.
Dyche and McNeil have worked together at Burnley and it’s good news for Everton fans that they’re continuing to thrive at another club as well.
