Everton fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted some 54-second footage of Dominic Calvert-Lewin before the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea.

The clip shows the Everton No.9 warming up with the likes of Alex Iwobi and Mason Holgate, sporting a look we haven’t seen much before.

Calvert-Lewin was wearing his hair in an afro-style, which led to one fan tweeting that he reminded them of ex-Toffee Marouane Fellaini.

Of course, the 23-year-old usually ties his hair up, so supporters haven’t often seen what happens when it’s allowed to run free.

One fan described the striker’s hair as ‘glorious’ while another said ‘no way’ after seeing the 3-cap England international’s change of appearance.

Another said that a hat-trick was ‘pending’ if Calvert-Lewin kept his hair like that during the game, instead of tying it up.

Sadly, the Sheffield-born striker had a very poor game at Stamford Bridge.

He was his usual, industrial self having won four headers and one tackle as WhoScored shows.

However, he was largely anonymous, and made just nine passes in 90 minutes.

Interestingly, that was the same number of passes as Bernard – who came on in the 75th minute – managed to make. Calvert-Lewin also didn’t have a shot on target.

It really was an off night for the Toffees talisman, who has scored an eye-catching 18 goals in all competitions this season.

Aside from that, let’s see what the Everton fans were saying about his appearance prior to kick-off…
