Everton player ratings as Demarai Gray stars and Mason Holgate faultless in FA Cup win over Brentford
A mixed 90 minutes for the England international, who after saving well from Sergi Canos in the first half, also scuffed a clearance from a Seamus Coleman back pass. Was also at fault for bringing down Ivan Toney for Brentford’s penalty.
A solid outing for the Everton captain, who operated on the right in Everton's 3-4-3 formation. A bit sloppy in possession at times, but he was full of energy down the right.
Operating in the middle of a three-man defence, the defender was solid and dealt well with the threat of Toney in the first half. However, he lost his way a bit in the second half after his side went 2-0 up.
A fine performance from the defender, who was faultless throughout the 90 minutes. Started on the right then moved over to the left when Ben Godfrey went off. Deserved his goal for his efforts.
Started brightly and helped set-up a chance for Richarlison with a run that started well in his own half. However, his afternoon was cut short when he limped off injured after less than 15 minutes.
