“We are delighted for Dominic” – Everton’s Ferguson

striker

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

met the back of the net for the first time in seven games following his comeback from a hamstring injury as his side entered the FA Cup’s fifth round. Saturday's clash was Calvert-Lewin’s 15th match this season and his contribution along with Richarlison and Yerry Mina’s helped Everton beat

 3-0.

“

We are delighted for Dominic. We know he can score goals, he has scored goals for over a season now,

” said Ferguson.

“

He is a top player, we are delighted he is back and fit and well, and I am sure he will go from strength to strength and he’ll keep battering them in.

”

Duncan Ferguson

was satisfied with

James Rodriguez

’s performance as he contributed to Everton sitting at the top of the Premier League during the beginning of the season.

“

He was sensational tonight and when he is on the ball he gives you time, he is so relaxed,

” added the Scot.

“

He plays the game at his own pace and never really loses the ball, if he gives a pass it is always a positive. He gives us that quality

.”

It was also a special night for

Thierry Small

as his name made history in the Club for being the youngest Everton player and beating Jose Baxter’s record by 15 days.

“

It was a great moment for him, the youngest Everton player – what a fantastic thing,

” said Ferguson.

“

It’s early days for the kid and he has a long way to go but the manager showed a lot of confidence in him

.”

Neil Thompson

, Sheffield Wednesday’s interim manager, was not pleased with the outcome which was his first loss after three wins ever since he replaced Tony Pulis.

“

I thought first half it was really encouraging,

” he said.

“

They have loads of quality all over the pitch and you have to be at full-tilt with and without the ball and I thought we kept a good shape, we just needed to penetrate and have a little bit more in the final third.

“

I think the (first) goal could have been prevented from our point of view and second half we came out of the blocks too slow and they got two set-piece goals.”
