Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin admits that proving people wrong motivates him.

The Englishman has never been seen in the same light as some of the country's other forwards, such as Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, or Raheem Sterling.

However, he is in the form of his life, and wants to go out there and prove everyone wrong on a weekly basis.

"It does motivate me, to prove people wrong, even to this day," Calvert-Lewin told Sky Sports News.

"I think it's important that you use it as a motivation and a source of inspiration to become better and prove to people that you are who you are, and you deserve to be where you are.

"I have always believed that I belonged here and belong where I am today and that with the work rate and the desire to keep achieving and getting better I would eventually get to this level. I am proud of myself for overcoming adversity.

"No matter how good you are, or what level you get to, there's always going to be people that don't think you are very good or have their opinion to say. So for me, I take it in, and I quite enjoy it now. I feed off it more than anything."
