Yannick Bolasie sends message to Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Yannick Bolasie has sent a message to Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Twitter after the youngster scored twice as the Toffees beat Chelsea 3-1.

Richarlison put Everton in front early on. And Calvert-Lewin doubled the lead shortly after the break. The youngster took full advantage of some poor defending from the Blues.

Chelsea did pull one back. But Calvert-Lewin ensured that it would be Everton celebrating the win with six minutes of normal time remaining. Once again, the visitors’ defence were at fault.

The £25 million winger (via ) – who is on loan at Sporting – heaped praise on Calvert-Lewin on social media and urged the forward to keep pushing.
