Although cruelly halted minutes before the full-time whistle after sustaining a horrible head collision with Idrissa Gueye, it was an encouraging defensive showing and one that will provide Everton supporters confidence that their long-term issues at centre-back are being worked upon.
Michael Keane endured a difficult first campaign at Goodison Park last term but with displays like this, critics can see why they paid £30 million for his services last summer.
Dominant in the air, he won a game-high five aerial duels and distribution from the back was regularly accurate too. His passing accuracy of 87% was the team's highest while he also made five clearances, three interceptions and a tackle to go with an emphatic header which doubled the visitors' lead. Unlucky not to be on the winning side today, we can only wish him a swift recovery from a nasty injury.
