‘Hell of a performance’: Some Everton fans respond to £20m star’s 10-word Twitter post – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Everton moved to sixth in the Premier League table after beating Leeds United 2-1 on Wednesday night at Elland Road.
Goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave the Toffees a hard-fought win over the Yorkshire club. Raphinha scored after the break to reduce the deficit but Everton managed to preserve the lead to pick up all three points.
It was a brilliant performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s side with the likes of Andre Gomes and Abdoulaye Doucoure making a huge impact.
Doucoure, who joined in the summer for a reported fee of £20m from Watford, took to Twitter after the game to share his reaction. He tweeted:
Big Win Away from Home We keep going and fighting

The 28-year-old midfielder has been really impressive for Everton this season.
He has scored one goal and provided two assists in 19 appearances in the Premier League so far. The Frenchman made one tackle, two key passes, two interceptions, and he was a tireless runner throughout the match.
The Toffees have been really impressive away from home this season, having managed four consecutive wins for the first time since 1985.
With tough fixtures coming up for the Toffees (Tottenham, Liverpool, and Southampton, Chelsea) in quick succession, the victory at Elland Road will give them a massive lift.
