Everton made it three games unbeaten with a 2-0 win against Ipswich Town this afternoon, and fans have all been saying the same thing about Michael Keane.
Sean Dyche has had his fair share of criticism recently, but he’s answering those critics on the field with his team’s performances.
Interestingly, Dyche came out prior to the game and said all he can do is get the results on the field when asked about the Friedkin Group potentially weighing up his future.
And that’s what he’s done as Everton now move further away from the bottom three and turn their attention towards the top half of the table.
With Southampton, Fulham and West Ham up next, the opportunity is there to really push on.
Michael Keane was getting a lot of flack prior to the game, but he grabbed the vital second goal with a cool finish that sent the away end into a frenzy.

Michael Keane’s performance against Ipswich
Michael Keane impressed Everton fans last time out against Newcastle with his performance.
And he’s gone and put in another brilliant display to silence the critics, as well as showing Dominic Calvert-Lewin how to find the back of the net.
He made six clearances, grabbed a goal, blocked one shot, made one tackle, won one ground duel, had 55 touches, a 90% passing accuracy and completed five long balls.
With Jarrad Branthwaite returning from injury soon, Keane has gone from looking like he would be replaced to now being the one in a commanding position.

“Michael Keane is genuinely our best finisher by a mile.” @HJWatkinson
