Everton and Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park yesterday.
Calvert-Lewin forced Everton’s goal in their 1-1 draw against United, as he refused to give up on a lost cause.
Plenty of strikers may have allowed David De Gea a free clearance in the early stages, but the Everton forward went and pressured the Spaniard and got his reward for his hard-work.
De Gea inexplicably kicked his clearance against Calvert-Lewin, with the deflection taking the ball into the back of the net.
And Solskjaer admits that he was impressed by the work-rate of the in-form Everton forward.
“He chases everything. He chases paper on a windy day,” Solskjaer said. “He deserves a goal for how he’s playing.”
Calvert-Lewin has really stepped up his game at Everton this term, and the English striker is now enjoying his best run of goalscoring form in his career.
The 22-year-old now has 13 Premier League goals for the season, which represents an excellent return.
Everton were unable to hold on to the lead Calvert-Lewin had given them yesterday, with Bruno Fernandes striking United’s equaliser, as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
