Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin kept up his fine run of form as he scored twice to give Everton a 2-1 win at Newcastle United in a pulsating Premier League clash on Saturday.It was a second successive victory for Everton's new manager Carlo Ancelotti, who made his debut at Goodison Park with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Thursday when Calvert-Lewin netted a late winner for the Toffees.
Ancelotti also became only the third Everton manager to win his first two Premier League games in charge, emulating the achievement by Joe Royle in 1994 and David Moyes in 2002.
The Italian, who named caretaker Duncan Ferguson his assistant after the club's former striker had overseen a three-match unbeaten run, was delighted and also credited the Scot for some fine groundwork.
"I am pleased, it was a difficult game," Ancelotti told the BBC.
"The team is improving and that is important. The job Duncan Ferguson did was fantastic and the spirit was strong when we arrived.
"Dominic Calvert-Lewin is playing really well. The second goal was a big part of Richarlison. It doesn't matter if you score or not, it is important to work as a team and they did.
Calvert-Lewin added: "We are getting back to where we want to be after a below-par start. It was not good enough and it was vitally important we turned it around. (ESPN)
