Sean Dyche was sacked just hours ahead of the FA Cup clash but Everton players turned up and did well under Leighton Baines. They have eased into the fourth round and have managed to show that they can survive in the Premier League too.

Everton player ratings vs Peterborough United

Goalkeeper

Joao Virginia – 6: Did well when called into action and it was very little in the game. Made sure that the Toffees did not miss Jordan Pickford.

Defenders

Jake O’Brien – 7: Stayed back and never looked like he was going to get pulled out of position at any time. Won all his duels and also won a penalty right at the end of the match.

Micahel Keane – 7: Hardly had to do anything in the game but stayed put in his position and ensured that the away side did not get a lot of space.

Jarrad Brantwaite – 7.5: He too did not have a lot to do but was impressed every time he was called into action.

Midfielders

Nathan Patterson – 7.5: He was involved more in attack today than defense despite playing as a wing-back. Played just over 73 minutes and created 3 chances for his forwards.

Gana Gueye – 7.5: Played the whole match and was just outside the Peterborough box all the time. He was looking to keep the ball moving and also took a couple of shots.

Orel Mangala – 7: Made a mess of a shot and then almost scored eight minutes later. He was hot and cold the whole match.

Vitaliy Mykolenko – 8: Made a crucial block in the first half and then almost scored the second goal of the match for Everton early in the second half.

Harrison Armstrong – 7: Played just over an hour and was impressive in the game. He got the assist for the first goal and that was the only chance he created.

Iliman Ndiaye – 7.5: He scored from the spot in the final minutes of the match and was involved in most of their attacks.

Beto – 7.5: Tormanted the Peterborough defenders and got the all-important goal that helped them take full control of the match.

Armando Broja – 5

Goalkeeper

Nichalos Bilokapic – 7: Pulled off three saves and cannot be blamed for the goals that were conceded.

Jadel Katongo – 5.5: Never looked comfortable today and gave away a silly penalty in the stoppage time of the second half.

Emmanuel Fernandez – 6: Stayed back and tried to deal with Beto but never managed to do much.

George Nevett – 5.5: Got pulled out of position a lot and never looked like he was going to do much in the game. Got hooked off at half time.

Midfielders

James Dornelly – 6: He was hardly involved in the match and the match just went past him today. Got taken off in the 75th minute after getting just 25 touches in the game.

Hector Kyprianou – 6.5: Played just over an hour today and never looked comfortable. He was running around trying to get the ball back but never got much of it.  

Archie Collins – 7: The better player on the pitch for the away side today as he looked comfortable every time he got the ball.

Donay O’Brien-Brady – 6.5: He played 88 minutes today and did not get a lot of the ball. He failed to win any of his duels today but created one good chance.

Cian Hayes – 7.5: He was up and down the left flank for the away side and easily their best player on the pitch.

Forward

Chris Conn-Clarke – 4.5: He failed to create any chance and also failed to get a single shot away despite playing the full match.

Ricky-Jade Jones – 7: Got the best chance for the away side today and should have held his nerve. He was taken off at half time as well.

Malik Mothersille – 5

Manager
