Yerry Mina helped Everton keep a clean sheet on his Premier League debut.
Everton centre-back Yerry Mina had a successful debut for the Toffees yesterday.
He helped his side to a 0-0 draw away at Chelsea, fulfilling his end of the bargain in a very tough match up.
Meanwhile the team who sold him for just £27 million had a tough afternoon.
Barcelona succumbed to a 4-3 home defeat to Real Betis, despite Lionel Messi scoring twice on his return from injury.
Of course attack was not Barcelona’s problem, it was their defending which let them down.
The defensive partnership of Gerard Pique and Clement Llenget was breached four times and Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga was cut to just one point.
Hanging onto Yerry Mina probably would have been a wise decision.
His performances for Colombia at the World Cup were outstanding and it looks like £27 million was a bargain.
Mina’s star debut coming on an embarrassing day for Barcelona makes it even sweeter for the centre-back.
