Sport nationFootball pundits Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker have been left in awe as their forecast about Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has materialized. The striker, who had been experiencing a scoring drought since December, has recently found the back of the net twice, delivering crucial goals for his team. His newfound form has been instrumental in Everton’s climb to the 15th spot in the Premier League, edging them closer to safety from relegation.
On the latest episode of The Rest is Football podcast, Shearer, Lineker, and Micah Richards discussed Everton’s performance, with a special focus on Calvert-Lewin’s contribution. The two former strikers had previously predicted that once Calvert-Lewin scored, his confidence would surge, and goals would follow. This prediction was made on a past Match of the Day episode and has since proven accurate.
Calvert-Lewin’s goal against Burnley, which came from pressuring the goalkeeper into a mistake, was particularly fortuitous and secured a 1-0 win for Everton. This type of victory is somewhat atypical for the club, but it has significantly bolstered their chances of staying in the Premier League.
Looking ahead, Everton faces key matches against Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United, and Luton Town. Calvert-Lewin’s return to form could not have come at a better time, as continued success in these fixtures could be pivotal in ensuring the team’s survival in the top flight. With the backing of two of England’s football legends and a streak of good fortune, Calvert-Lewin and Everton are poised to tackle the challenges ahead with renewed vigor.
