Everton Player Ratings vs Fulham

Check out Everton Player Ratings from Everton vs Fulham Premier League game:

Goalkeeper

Jordan Pickford - 7.5: Had a relatively quiet day but was alert when called upon. Made four crucial saves inside the box to keep his clean sheet intact. His distribution was solid, launching a few decent attacks from the back. A confident performance from the England number one. We noticed his command of the area was excellent throughout.

Defenders

James Garner - 7.0: Played in a defensive role and looked very comfortable. He was a constant menace with his shooting, registering four attempts. He also created a big chance that his teammates couldn't finish. Lost possession a few too many times for our liking, but his overall contribution was positive. A very energetic display.

James Tarkowski - 7.5: A captain's performance from the centre-back. He was a rock at the back, winning five aerial duels and making two key interceptions. Was unlucky not to score, hitting the woodwork and seeing a header saved brilliantly. He led by example and was a major reason for the clean sheet.

Michael Keane - 8.0: What a performance. Not only was he solid defensively, he popped up with the crucial second goal to kill the game. His header was clinical. He was a little suspect in the air at times, losing three duels, but his goal more than made up for it. A great day at the office for him.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - 7.0: A dependable performance from the left-back. He made an impressive six clearances and was always looking to get forward, putting in three crosses. What stood out to us was his defensive diligence, he was rarely beaten. He did lose the ball a fair bit but his work rate was immense.

Midfielders

Jack Grealish - 7.0: A tidy and effective game. He didn't misplace a single pass all match, which is just incredible. Created three chances for his teammates and always looked to be positive on the ball. He drew three fouls, showing how much of a nuisance he was for the Fulham defence. Solid if not spectacular.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 8.5: Our man of the match. He was absolutely everywhere, a true engine in the midfield. Won a staggering 10 duels and made six tackles, breaking up play constantly. To top it off, he provided the assist for the second goal with a pinpoint cross. An outstanding all-around display that drove his team to victory.

Idrissa Gueye - 8.0: Playing as an 'Unknown Player' on the teamsheet, but it was Gueye who delivered. Scored the vital opening goal with a calm finish just before halftime. Beyond the goal, he was a disruptive force, making tackles and interceptions. His goal changed the entire dynamic of the match.

Tim Iroegbunam - 7.0: Provided the crucial assist for the first goal, a moment of real quality. He was energetic and tenacious, winning five duels despite only playing 67 minutes. His yellow card was a blemish on an otherwise impressive outing. He really took his chance to shine.

Forwards

Thierno Barry - 6.0: A frustrating day for the forward. He worked hard and won a decent number of his duels but lacked the final product. Missed a big chance and was caught offside twice. From our perspective he just couldn't get into the game before being substituted.

Substitutes

Beto - N/A: Came on late and didn't have enough time to make a real impact on the game, though he did have one header blocked.

Jake O'Brien - N/A: A late substitution to see out the game.

Manager

D. Moyes - 8.0: Got his tactics spot on. His team was well-drilled, defensively solid, and clinical when it mattered. The timing of the goals suggests a team that follows instructions perfectly. A great day for the gaffer.

Fulham Player Ratings vs Everton

Here are Fulham Player Ratings from Fulham vs Everton game:

Goalkeeper

Bernd Leno - 6.5: Couldn't do much about either goal. He actually made a few really good saves, including a brilliant stop to deny Tarkowski. Kept the scoreline from becoming embarrassing. His distribution was decent, but he was let down by the players in front of him.

Defenders

Kenny Tete - 6.0: A mixed bag. He was incredible in his duels, winning a massive 12 of them. However, he struggled to provide quality going forward and was part of a defence that conceded twice. He put in a shift, but it wasn't enough.

Calvin Bassey - 5.5: A difficult afternoon for the centre-back. He looked solid in possession with a 91% pass accuracy but struggled defensively. Picked up a needless yellow card and his two blocked shots were last-ditch efforts. Not his best day.

Joachim Andersen - 5.5: The captain made a whopping 11 clearances, which shows how much pressure Fulham were under. Despite that, he was dribbled past twice and struggled to impose himself on the game. He looked frustrated for large parts of the match.

Ryan Sessegnon - 5.0: A quiet and ineffective performance. He struggled to get involved in the game, losing possession 10 times. Made a few tackles and interceptions but offered very little going forward. A day to forget for the wing-back.

Midfielders

Harry Wilson - 5.5: Barely had a kick before he was substituted just before the hour mark. He was caught offside once and didn't create any chances. It was a performance that completely passed him by, which surprised us.

Sander Berge - 6.0: One of the few who tried to make things happen. He was tidy in possession and made a couple of key tackles. However, he couldn't stamp his authority on the midfield battle. A decent effort in a losing cause.

Alex Iwobi - 6.5: Looked like Fulham's most likely source of creativity. Had a shot on target and created a chance for his teammates. He worked hard defensively too, with two tackles. A bright spark in a poor team performance.

Saša Lukić - 4.0: A disastrous performance. He gave away multiple fouls, picked up an early yellow card, and was completely overrun in midfield. It was no surprise to see him hooked at halftime. He was a liability for his team.

Kevin - 5.0: A very frustrating player to watch. He showed flashes of skill with four successful dribbles but his end product was awful. He lost possession 16 times and was dribbled past twice. He flattered to deceive.

Forwards

Raúl Jiménez - 5.0: Was completely isolated up front. He had one shot on target but was otherwise anonymous. Lost most of his aerial battles and was subbed off before the hour. He needs more service, but he also needs to do more.

Substitutes

Josh King - 6.0: Came on and tried to make an impact, creating a chance for a teammate.

Rodrigo Muniz - 6.0: Had a shot on target shortly after coming on but his cameo was cut short by injury.

Samuel Chukwueze - 5.5: Came on but couldn't get into the rhythm of the game.

Adama Traoré - 6.0: His pace caused a moment of panic but his shot was saved well.

Emile Smith Rowe - N/A: Not enough time to make an impact.

Manager

M. Saraiva Da Silva - 5.0: His team looked disjointed and lacked a clear game plan. The decision to start Lukic backfired badly, and his substitutes failed to change the course of the match. A poor showing from the Portuguese manager.

Sportsdunia’s Player of the Match goes to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
