Unlikely Everton scorer shows value of veteran leadership 💪
Unlikely Everton scorer shows value of veteran leadership 💪 James Tarkowski signalled, "Let's hear the haters," during his goal celebration on Sunday as Everton grabbed an early lead over Palace. Who would've thought it would be him? Well, if you've paid attention to the statistics lately, maybe you had him on Everton's scoresheet!
Tarkowski was left unmarked at the back post during a corner and guided a deflected ball home with ease after only six minutes. The 33-year-old has now been involved in three goals from his last seven league appearances, notching two goals and one assist. That's the same as he's managed across his previous 93 games combined in the competition!
As Everton looks to secure European football next year, the veteran is pulling out all the stops near the end of the season for the Toffees. Talk about the definition of late-season push!
