Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall launches the ball into the air against Burnley Wyscout
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was speaking to the media after Everton’s 2-0 win against Burnley on Tuesday when Rodrigo Gomes scored for Wolverhampton Wanderers against the home side’s Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
The loud cheers from fans in the concourses and corporate lounges at Hill Dickinson Stadium in response to that goal temporarily shifted attention away from the post-game debrief with broadcaster TNT Sports.
Up until that point, the focus had largely been on Dewsbury-Hall’s impressive individual performance and Everton’s aspirations to qualify for European football next season. But after a brief interlude to respond to what had happened down at Molineux, discussion turned to the former Chelsea and Leicester City midfielder’s role in one of the more bizarre moments of Tuesday’s game.

Revealed: The new RUGBY-style kick-off routine trialled by Everton and Brentford, why other Premier League sides could soon adopt it… and what next innovation from the oval-ball game could be next

And we might get used to seeing this after the rugby-like strategy paid off for Everton – though Brentford fans were left scratching their heads.
At Everton's kick-off, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall received the ball and smashed it forward, with Burnley's Joe Worrall struggling to deal with it.
He could only head it as far as James O'Brien, meaning Everton had advanced almost halfway into Burnley's territory within 10 seconds of kick-off.
