Agreed in terms of team results yes, at end of the day we all just want Everton to win football matches

Stats/data regarding individual players has huge significance and rightly so, especially when it comes to scouting and ultimately signing players

Quite a straight forward metric! A successful dribble is just beating an opponent and retaining possession, as opposed to an uncompleted dribble, attempting a take-on and being tackled/losing possession.

Can give *somewhat* of an indication as to how attacking/forward thinking a defender is

Of defenders playing across Europeโ€™s top five leagues last season, only Nuno Tavares (2.6) and Andrei Ratiu (2.2) completed more dribbles per 90 minutes than Everton target Adam Aznou (1.92).

Aznou attempted 36 and completed 19 dribbles in 889 minutes of La Liga football last term.

In what is the last season at Goodison Park, following Saturdayโ€™s draw, Everton are now guaranteed to record their fewest home wins ever in a 38-game top-flight season, even if they beat Southampton.

Of Abdoulaye Doucourรฉโ€™s last five Premier League goals, four have been winning goals.

Todayโ€™s winner was Evertonโ€™s latest winning goal away from home in the Premier League on record.

Not content with just topping the charts for tackles and duels, Idrissa Gana Gueye has also been involved in more attacking sequences for Everton than any other player this season (80).

Heโ€™s also provided more assists (3) under David Moyes than any other Everton player.

๐Ÿ”Ž Since Jarrad Branthwaiteโ€™s first Premier League appearance of the season (28th September):

Everton have conceded 21 goals, the joint-fewest in the competition along with Arsenal.

Only Nottingham Forest (10) have kept more clean sheets than Everton (9).

Just realised that Evertonโ€™s win against Crystal Palace in February was David Moyesโ€™ 177th in the league for Everton, taking him above Dick Molyneux and into outright fifth for most league wins.

Nine more needed to reach the great Howard Kendall.

Vitaliy Mykolenkoโ€™s assist for Jake Oโ€™Brien tonight was the first time Everton scored a Premier League goal which was both assisted and scored by a pair of full-backs since Leighton Baines assisted Sรฉamus Coleman against Arsenal in December 2016.

Vitaliy Mykolenko provided his first ever Premier League assist in what was his 100th appearance in the Premier League.

He is the first #EFC player to provide an assist on his 100th PL appearance for the club since Duncan Ferguson in April 1998 (v Leicester City).

Since David Moyesโ€™ appointment, Beto has had four big chances in the Premier League and scored all four, with his 100% big chance conversion rate the joint-best across Europeโ€™s top five leagues along with Mohamed Salah and Oihan Sancet (min. 4 big chances).

Next week (MD26) will be the latest into a Premier League season that Everton have gone into a match against Manchester United above them in the league table since April 2014 (MD35).

Everton ran out 2-0 winners on the day, with David Moyes in the dugout for United.
