In-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin represents Everton’s best chance of silverware in the League Cup

There was a moment in the first half of Everton’s 4-1 League Cup win against West Ham United that drew gasps from the handful of people in attendance.

The reaction was brought about simply by a through-ball from James Rodriguez to Richarlison. It was inconsequential as far as the game was concerned, as the Brazilian was offside, but in terms of entertainment it summed up the early performances of Everton’s new Colombian creator.

If this moment could induce such awe in neutrals working at the game, imagine the reaction to such a moment were Goodison Park filled with supporters.
