The French international was in great form for new club Everton.
While Morgan Schneiderlin struggled for game time at Manchester United earlier this season, there was no doubting his quality, and Everton are now benefitting from Jose Mourinho’s decision to overlook the Frenchman while persisting with Marouane Fellaini.
While Idrissa Gueye and Romelu Lukaku grabbed the goals against Sunderland on Saturday, Schneiderlin played a vital role in the centre of the park.
| Passing Accuracy | Key Passes | Duels Won | Tackles Won | Ball Recoveries | Dispossessed | Effective Clearances | Touches | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morgan Schneiderlin | 91% | 2 | 4 | 3 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 111 | 90 |
Everton’s January addition had a passing accuracy of 91 per cent while he touched the ball more than any other player, getting the ball on 111 occasions to prove his importance throughout.
Schneiderlin also won eight ball recoveries, four duels and three tackles while he played two key passes to set up scoring chances for his Everton teammates.
The 27-year-old will be desperate to make up for lost time after falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford and on this evidence Everton have got a player who is going to play a vital role for years to come.
Just six matches into his Everton career, Schneiderlin already looks to have rediscovered the form that saw him shine at Southampton and earn a move to United in the first place.
