Everton finally got themselves back into the win column on Sunday afternoon as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2.
David Moyes secured his first win back at Everton after his side raced into a three-goal lead in the first half.
Despite their best efforts, Tottenham couldn’t overturn the deficit in the second period and now reside just four points above the Toffees in the Premier League.
The Merseysiders have put four points between them and 18th-placed Ipswich Town, so they finally have some breathing room.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was particularly impressive and deservedly earned most of the plaudits but these Everton fans believe there was another player who perhaps should’ve won the Man of the Match award instead.
Everton fans think Jesper Lindstrom was Man of the Match
Sky Sports awarded Calvert-Lewin the Man of the Match award but many Everton fans took to X and said Jesper Lindstrom was the best player on the pitch.
“Lindstrom man of the match, every single player outstanding, Moyes got the players fighting for the badge again, love it,” @RCGT4_ posted.
@mickmcSNB said: “I’d probably give Lindstrom man of the match there thought he was excellent but some good performances out there today.”

“Lindstrom best player on the pitch been brilliant today and looks like he’s enjoying himself,” @AnthonyM91 added.
@third_I1878 commented: “I thought Lindstrom was brilliant today, worked hard,a good effort on goal and his set pieces were good too. A bit sloppy before he was subbed but probably fatigued, his best game for us by far.”
“Should of been about 5-0 that but take the 3 points Lindstrom MOTM,” @garygriffoefc posted.
@Barry1878 simply said: “Lindstrom was superb btw.”
David Moyes has admired Lindstrom for years
Moyes has tracked Lindstrom for years, dating back to his days in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
When he took over at Everton, one of his first port of calls was to give Lindstrom much more playing time and he indeed started him today.
That decision certainly paid off and now, like Calvert-Lewin, it’s all about using this as momentum and really kicking on.
It’s understood Lindstrom is happy in Merseyside, so he’ll be keen to prove his worth enough for the £19m buy option to be activated.
