Goodison Hero

Forget about the glamour of European ties, what really counts on Merseyside is bragging rights earned through victory in the local derby - and with an emphatic 3-0 triumph over Liverpool at Goodison, right now Everton fans simply couldn’t be happier, thanks to their new hero, Andrew Johnson.

Even at this early stage in the season, the £8.6 million Everton were reported to have paid Crystal Palace for his services last summer is looking like an absolute steal. He has genuine pace, he works really hard and he is recognised as a clinical finisher. And of the four goals he already has to his name, there’s no doubt that the most precious are the two he picked up against Liverpool.
