AFC Bournemouth 2-2 Everton: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Gylfi Sigurdsson

Gylfi worked just as hard off-the-ball as he did with it in possession

The Iceland midfielder received plenty of criticism after an underwhelming campaign last term, but he has started the new season brightly and looks intent to play a key role in Marco Silva's Merseyside revolution.

Crucially, he did plenty in the final third today without constantly needing touches on the ball. 33 in total, the same as Begovic - he made two key passes, two tackles, three interceptions and provided the inviting delivery from which Keane doubled the Toffees' lead.

The fact he was able to deliver just as much in a defensive sense is impressive too: he offered more off-the-ball than the rest of his attacking teammates and retained possession well (86.7% pass accuracy). Subtlety often typifies his playstyle and here, he excelled.
