Sean Dyche praises Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s potential for the England team following his impressive performance against Liverpool.

The defeat saw Everton secure a vital three points, lifting them to 16th place in the table and putting some distance between them and the relegation zone.

One player who stood out in the match was Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. His “outstanding” performance caught the attention of Burnley manager Sean Dyche, who believes the striker deserves a chance with the England national team. Calvert-Lewin bullied Liverpool’s defence and scored the decisive second goal, showcasing his international level quality.

Dyche praised Calvert-Lewin for his physical performance, especially considering he had been suffering from illness leading up to the game. The Everton manager also revealed that the club has had to manage the striker’s load this season due to various injuries and knocks he has picked up.

In addition to Calvert-Lewin, midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye also played through an injury in the derby. Despite a tight calf, Gueye put in an impressive performance, being aggressive in the challenge and frustrating Liverpool’s attackers.

Looking ahead to their next match against Brentford, Everton will be without Vitaliy Mykolenko, who is awaiting a scan on an ankle injury. Seamus Coleman is also yet to return to full training due to a groin injury, while Beto is sidelined due to concussion protocols.

Overall, it was a memorable victory for Everton, but a disappointing result for Liverpool. Klopp’s apology to the fans reflects the team’s frustration, and they will be looking to bounce back in their next match.
