Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed home the first goal of the game when they took on Crystal Palace.
Calvert-Lewin was introduced for Everton against Crystal Palace as a late substitute, and he played a role in helping the Toffees pick up the three points.
The young forward headed home Everton’s first goal in the contest, before Cenk Tosun added a second.
And Calvert-Lewin believes that Silva’s attacking style is really suiting him.
“We’re playing extremely attacking football and I think, as a striker, you’re getting chances now,” the forward said.
“I’ve come off the bench against Palace and, in a short period of time, I’ve got my chance and taken it.
“As a striker, you want chances and you want to be allowed to get yourself in those positions.
“With the kind of football we’re playing now and the quality we’ve got up at the top of the pitch, we’re creating those opportunities and I’m happy to be there to hit the back of the net.
“The manager told me to play my natural game. The game was opening up and it’s my job to stretch it, get forward and be in the box ready to put it in when the ball comes in – and thankfully Ademola’s put a good cross in.”
Calvert-Lewin now has four goals in nine games for Everton this season, and is showing plenty of promise.
The England youth international is yet to fully establish himself as a starter, but it seems that he could be a good rotational option for Silva.
Everton are next in action on Sunday, when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
