For someone who has endured such frustrating injury troubles in recent seasons, this was a performance to remember for Gabriel Jesus. He's only completed the full 90 minutes of league action on three occasions this term prior to this victory but deserved to remain on the pitch throughout.

Here, he worked hard out of possession whilst being equally effective with the ball to fashion chances at will against a largely pedestrian Everton side. They were often caught in two minds at times whether to approach him and tackle or soak up pressure and pounce on mistakes.

For someone of his relative inexperience, it's also quite telling to see how often he manages to find himself in promising positions in-and-around the area. His goal wasn't pretty, but he crucially guided his header goalwards at speed from close-range and there was nothing that Jordan Pickford could do.

One key pass, one completed dribble, was fouled twice, one shot and importantly a goal to show for it. Not bad at all.
