Everton beat Barnsley 3-0 in a pre-season friendly on Saturday afternoon.
Everton picked up a 3-0 win over Championship side Barnsley on Saturday afternoon, with new manager Ronald Koeman getting off to a winning start.
The Toffees are embracing a bright new era under Koeman and new owner Farhad Moshiri, and kicked it off with a convincing 3-0 win at Barnsley.
Kevin Mirallas, Gerard Deulofeu and Ross Barkley all found the net at Oakwell, giving Koeman a great start to pre-season with just three weeks to go until the Premier League kicks off.
Everton fans were unsurprisingly pleased with the performance, but were clearly paying close attention to the performance of winger Mirallas.
The Belgian international, 28, endured a frustrating campaign last season, as he made just ten Premier League starts having fallen out of favour under Roberto Martinez.
Mirallas still managed to score four goals, but is now looking for a new lease of life under Martinez’s replacement Koeman – and he got off to a great start by scoring a fine free kick against Barnsley.
During and after the game, Everton fans took to Twitter to discuss Mirallas’ performance, with many suggesting that he will be like a new signing under Koeman, based on how well he played against Barnsley.
Toffees supporters want to see Mirallas become a key player for the club again, and believe that with Koeman at the helm, the winger will have a big season ahead of him.
Here are some of the reactions from Everton fans on Twitter after Mirallas starred against Barnsley on Saturday afternoon…
