Nigeria international and Everton forward, Alex Iwobi, was on duty on Saturday when his team beat Crystal Palace by two goals to one and climbed to the top of the Premier League table.
The Toffees continued their perfect start to the season with a deserved victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Calvert-Lewin’s fifth league goal of the season opened the scoring for the Toffees following neat build-up from James Rodriguez and Seamus Coleman.
Cheikhou Kouyate’s free header drew Palace level, but Richarlison restored the visitors’ lead from the penalty spot after Joel Ward was controversially adjudged to have handled Lucas Digne’s knock-down.
“I thought it wasn’t our best performance today but we stuck in there and got the result to keep the momentum going,” said the 23-year-old striker.
“It’s early days but we’re looking to build on every game, the more we’re training together.
“It’s exciting times, but we’re not getting carried away.”
