Chris Beesley analysis after Everton ended 14 years of Goodison Park hurt with a 2-0 Merseyside derby victory at home to Liverpool
A couple of imperious runs up the pitch against Nottingham Forest on Sunday prompted this correspondent to dub Jarrad Branthwaite 'The Carlisle Kaiser' but this was the night that the young centre-back’s breakthrough season went up through the stratosphere to the Royal Blue heavens and he went from mere emperor to becoming a Goodison God’.
Of late though, he’s also started to show himself as quite an accomplished finisher, too. While his first of the season, a last-gasp headed equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur, was all about bravery, his strike at Brighton & Hove Albion was as composed as any leading marksman and in the heat of battle against Liverpool, Branthwaite was cool as a cucumber here, etching himself into Merseyside Derby folklore.
From the days of Dixie Dean, football’s first player to don the famous shirt, Evertonians have always loved their number nines and Dominic Calvert-Lewin put all those tough days behind him with a header from a corner-kick in front of the Gwladys Street reminiscent of Duncan Ferguson’s fabled Merseyside derby goal almost three decades ago.
It was a sign of Calvert-Lewin’s fluctuating fortunes, and the work done by Sean Dyche and his staff to get him properly fit again after a couple of seasons of injury woes, that his drought lasted for more matches than he’d even played in the previous two campaigns but he’s certainly back now.
