Nineteen-year-old defender Roman Dixon deserves some praise for his Everton debut.

He is coming out of it having won a fair few one-on-one duels versus Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min.

It has been a real baptism of fire, without any protection in front of him, but he can hold his head high.

It is understood that he may still go on loan before deadline day, but this performance might have given manager Sean Dyche food for thought, after he stepped in as an enforced change with Ashley Young suspended.
