H / T player ratings
Robin Olsen 7
Produced a good preservation method for flipping Strujk’s oblique head over the bar. Handle the ball well
Mason Holgate 7
His hands were full but they handled well. The right-back is not his favorite position, but he is more than a skilled deputy. Crossing hits and misses
See Mina 8
Two towering heads from the corners of Leeds won’t make the headlines but they were decisive
Ben Godfrey 9
He had a lot to do but hardly foul in the center of defense. Excellent. And he capped a superb run with Everton’s second help when he hit Sigurdsson’s corner
Lucas Denny 8
Ancelotti was furious after he switched to giving Leeds a chance in the first minute but more than made up for it with a assist to Sigurdsson’s goal. His sixth league season
Alex Iwobi 8
He looked strong and was enjoying the pockets of the space Leeds let him work in
Abdullah Al-Dakhour 8
Everything you’d expect from an Everton midfielder. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
Andre Gomez, 8
Sent Digne charging the winger with a weighted pass from the kickoff movement that led to the goal. He feels comfortable playing with a true defensive midfielder by his side.
Richarlison 7
Half a fan because he bonds so well with those around him. He appears to have read Ancelotti’s comments about his need to work harder
Gilfi Sigurdsson 8
Easier than the finishing touches for scoring after nine minutes, but the team play and use of the ball was great.
Dominic Calvert Lewin 8
Ancelotti was infuriated when he chose to shoot rather than pass when Everton hit the hosts on the counter but put a smile on his face as he headed for the Blues.
