Jude Bellingham reacts to 5-word message from Everton gem Lewis Dobbin after Chelsea

Everton are a side that pride themselves on the steady production of youth talent, and over the years this has bore fruit magnificently.

The emergence of Anthony Gordon recently saw them recoup a fine £45m sum most recently, whilst even the likes of Ross Barkley and Antonee Robinson are starring for their respective Premier League clubs even now having emerged from Finch Farm.

It is an easy and cut-price route to adding more talent to the first team, and one which Sean Dyche needs now more than ever.

Fortunately, in Lewis Dobbin, it seems like he could have his latest star.

Despite having made a handful of senior appearances for the Toffees, the 20-year-old had seldom threatened to score in his limited minutes. So, when he was introduced late on against Chelsea just yesterday, it was expected to just be a like-for-like change to offer Jack Harrison a well-earned rest.

Well, the young winger did not read the script, and instead he lashed home a lethal left-footed finish from a corner to score his first for Everton and first in the English top-flight.

He would take to Instagram to react by simply writing: ‘Dreams Really Do Come True’.

This has sparked a slew of replies, with the most notable being Jude Bellingham’s ‘Congrats Bro’, and Fabrizio Romano’s blue heart and clapping emojis.

How did Lewis Dobbin play vs Chelsea?

Coming off the back of an admirable loan spell in which Dobbin had recorded 11 goal contributions across all competitions for Derby County, it was expected that additional senior minutes would be expected this season whilst back at Goodison Park.

However, few likely imagined that Dyche would be so keen to keep him involved, with seven senior appearances thus far including a sole start in the Premier League against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Whilst it is hard to rate a performance that lasted just 12 minutes, his impact on the game was monumental given how Chelsea were continuing to push for the equaliser they will feel they deserved.

It was a fierce strike, capitalising from Robert Sanchez’s weak punch to finish off the game.

Other than that, the trickster would enjoy just four touches, hitting the mark with the sole long ball he tried, and boasting a 100% pass accuracy, via Sofascore.

It seems like Dobbin has only just begun on his journey towards the top level, with the praise from these, and many more, only set to aid his endeavour.
