Praise for Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure vs Bournemouth
Abdoulaye Doucoure made it 3-0 on the hour mark.
And, former Liverpool defender and BBC Sport pundit Stephen Warnock was impressed.
Warnock said about Doucoure on BBC Sport: “Doucoure has deserved that goal too, supported Calvert-Lewin so well today in the midfield.”
Abdoulaye Doucoure performance review
Everton as a team have not done particularly well this season, but Abdoulaye Doucoure has been a bright spark for the Toffees.
The £120,000-a-week (Spotrac) 30-year-old has been playing behind the main striker.
The Mali international has done well in the role and has worked extremely hard in matches where he has played.
Against Bournemouth on Saturday, Doucoure pressed from the front and really took the game to the Cherries.
The midfielder deservedly scored his goal and could have added another to his tally.
Doucoure took five shots, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 89.5%, won one header, took 58 touches, attempted two dribbles, made two tackles, and put in one cross.
Everton are 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with seven points from eight games.
The Toffees are three points above the relegation zone.
Doucoure has scored three goals in eight Premier League matches for Everton this season.
