Everton boss Marco Silva was pleased with Andre Gomes' performance for their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Super-subs Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun scored the goals for the Blues.

Silva explained why he replaced Tom Davies who had captained the the Blues in his last three Premier League appearances.

Gomes also left the pitch to an appreciative ovation after the midfielder had impressed for 82 minutes.

And Silva said: “He did well, like we expected.

“He is working really hard and well. He is a player who can give us different things in that zone.

“I am happy with Tom Davies and his performances as well. I knew and I expected a tough game this afternoon and we needed Andre to control the ball and give different solutions for us in some moments. He is a little bit of a different profile from Tom."
