"Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's fantastic display and Thierno Barry's first Premier League goal saw Everton claim a dominant 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Sean Dyche's first return to his former club since parting ways with Everton at the start of the year ended in a comprehensive defeat as the Toffees surged into the upper reaches of the table on Saturday. Everton took the lead after just 83 seconds as Dewsbury-Hall's drilled cross-shot was inadvertently headed into the Forest net by Nikola Milenkovic."
"The hosts then ended the first half exactly the way they began it: with a goal. Iliman Ndiaye broke at pace and teed up Barry, whose decisive side-footed effort ended his wait to get on the scoresheet for Everton. Elliot Anderson was previously denied by a superb save from Jordan Pickford as chances came few and far between for Forest, who generated chances worth just 0.47 expected goals (xG),"
"And indeed, it was a stellar performance from Dewsbury-Hall to get them there. The 27-year-old has scored three goals in his last four Premier League outings, just one fewer than he managed across his first 82 appearances in the competition (four). The former Chelsea midfielder led Everton for shots (three), shots on target (two), duels (15) and duels won (nine)."
Everton defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0, taking the lead after 83 seconds when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's drilled cross-shot was inadvertently headed into the net by Nikola Milenkovic. Iliman Ndiaye broke at pace and teed up Thierno Barry, whose side-footed finish provided Everton's second and his first goal for the club. Forest produced just 0.47 expected goals and had a Nicolas Dominguez effort cleared off the line by James Tarkowski. Dewsbury-Hall struck again in the 80th minute to seal the victory. Everton have won three of their last five home league matches, and the 27-year-old Dewsbury-Hall has scored three times in his last four Premier League appearances.
