Everton striker Calvert-Lewin: Special scoring against Sheffield Wednesday

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was delighted to score a "special" brace in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Calvert-Lewin grew up only a stones throw away from Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium.

"I grew up a stone's throw from here, I used to come past this stadium every day on my way to training at Sheffield United," Calvert-Lewin told evertontv.

"It was a very special night and a lot of my family and friends were here.

"I grew up looking at this stadium from when I was a young boy, so to play here and do what I have tonight is very special.

"My mum text me before the game to tell me it was my 100th for Everton.

"It has gone in a flash, it is crazy how fast it goes.

"I am delighted to be wearing the Everton shirt and every time I pull it on I want to do my best for the Club.
