Goals take Everton striker Calvert-Lewin to another level - Southgate

England manager Gareth Southgate believes Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has taken his game to new heights in recent months.

The 23-year-old frontman has added a consistency in front of goal that he did not have before Carlo Ancelotti took over at Goodison Park.

He led the line for England on debut and scored in a 3-0 win over Wales.

"Really good, he [Calvert-Lewin] had excellent presence, his runs are a threat, he presses well and he took his goal well," Southgate said in a post-match interview with ITV.

"I thought he could be really pleased. I think he is in a really good vein of form. He's an all-round centre forward.

"I've always liked his general play but it's the goals that are making him another level of player."
