However, Everton's defense played like a dream and the price they had to pay was the opening goal in the 35th minute of the away team. The one who took advantage of J.Pickford's space in front of goal to score for Swansea was today's Leroy Fer.
Fortunately, Everton was awarded a penalty at the end of the first half. On the free kick, Rooney's shot hit the post, but immediately after that, in time to correct the mistake for his teammate, Calvert-Lewin quickly kicked the rebound to level the score at 1-1.
Continuing the excitement, the second goal came for coach Sam Allardyce and his team after the second half had passed for twenty minutes, thanks to the best player of Iceland - Sigurdsson with a shot from outside the penalty area as if pointing to the right corner of the goal.
In the 73rd minute, Everton received another penalty from the same scenario as before, but this time, veteran Rooney did not disappoint anyone. The cool shot into the top corner helped him put his name on the scoreboard, ending the 3-1 victory for the blue team.
Winning the late match of round 18 of the Premier League this time, the Goodison Park team reduced the score gap to 9 points with the group participating in the European Cup.
