Dewsbury-Hall Answers England Snub With Goal in Everton Comeback

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall let his football do the talking hours after being left out of the England squad, scoring the goal that sealed Everton’s 3-1 comeback win over Coventry on Friday night.

The midfielder was not named in the squad for this month’s Nations League matches — England host Croatia at Wembley on November 12 before travelling to Madrid to face Spain three days later — but he responded in the perfect way at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

With Everton already ahead through Thierno Barry’s double, Dewsbury-Hall collected the striker’s through ball in the 81st minute and lashed a fierce finish past Carl Rushworth at his near post to cap a stirring fightback.

A point made on the pitch

Dewsbury-Hall had already set up Barry’s equaliser with a pinpoint cross, and his late strike was the ideal riposte to a selection call that had left him disappointed earlier in the day.

Everton flying into the break

The win lifts Everton to fifth and sends them into the international break on a high, with three straight victories and their in-form attack firing on all cylinders.
