Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has taken to Twitter to celebrate scoring his first goal for new club Everton during an Under-23 match against Manchester United.

19-year-old striker Calvert-Lewin was born in Sheffield and came up through the ranks with his hometown club, but left having played just four senior games for the Blades.
Everton clearly saw enough potential in him to make a move though, and following his deadline day move to Goodison Park, Calvert-Lewin has been placed in Everton Under-23 side.

On Monday evening, Calvert-Lewin lined up against Manchester United as the two Under-23 sides met at Southport’s Haig Avenue stadium – and he certainly made a huge impression.
In a 2-0 win for Everton, Calvert-Lewin struck the opening goal before out-of-favour Oumar Niasse sealed the victory with a header.
That goal was Calvert-Lewin’s first since signing for Everton, and he took to Twitter after the game to celebrate his maiden strike for the Toffees.
The England youth international celebrated his first goal in the blue of Everton alongside a video of his strike, whilst he was also happy with the victory for David Unsworth’s Under-23 side.
Do you think Calvert-Lewin will be a first-team player by the end of the season?
