# Everton's Calvert-Lewin Returns to Score First Goal, Securing Victory

In a thrilling match at Goodison Park, Everton’s Calvert-Lewin made a memorable return from injury as he scored the winning goal to lead his team to a hard-fought victory. The striker, who had been sidelined with a thigh injury since late October, showed his class and determination as he marked his comeback with a crucial goal in the 68th minute.

The match was a tense encounter, with both teams creating chances but struggling to break the deadlock. Everton’s persistence paid off when Calvert-Lewin, introduced as a 60th-minute substitute, made an immediate impact. His clinical finish from a tight angle saw him slot the ball past the opposition goalkeeper, sending the home crowd into raptures. The goal not only secured the points for Everton but also cemented Calvert-Lewin’s importance to the team as they aim to climb the Premier League table.

The match also saw Everton’s defense stand firm, particularly in the first half, where they held firm against a series of attacks from their opponents. The second half was more open, but Everton’s attacking trio of Calvert-Lewin, Alex Iwobi, and Dominic Calvert-Davies worked well together, creating numerous chances.

Overall, the game was a testament to Calvert-Lewin’s resilience and the team’s never-say-die attitude. The victory moves Everton up to 10th place in the table, and fans will be eager to see more of their star striker in action as they prepare for their next fixture against Manchester United.
