Everton maintained their unbeaten start to the season after winning against Burnley at Goodison Park on Monday night in the Premier League.

Gary Lineker has showered heaps of praise on Everton winger Demarai Gray after the Toffees won against Burnley on Monday night. Everton won 3-1 against the Clarets at Goodison Park, with goals coming from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Gray. The Toffees responded brilliantly after going a goal down in the first half.

In the 66th minute, Abdoulaye Doucoure found Gray with a magnificent through-pass, and the summer signing slotted home with great composure. Lineker took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Gray.

Despite going a goal down, Everton came back strongly in the second half, with goals from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray sealing all three points for the Toffees. Both Townsend and Gray, the two summer signings, have been brilliant for Everton this season.

‘It will be too much’ – Mark Lawrenson states his prediction between Burnley v Leeds
Leeds United will travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday. Ahead of the match, popular football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted a comfortable victory for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. The Whites, who impressed heavily last season upon returning to the Premier League after 16 years, are yet to win this term. They suffered a heavy defeat against Manchester United on the opening weekend and came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Everton last week. Leeds are looking to pick up their first three points, and Lawrenson feels they will get their first win on Sunday. He told BBC Sport: “Burnley have lost their opening games, but they were decent at times against Liverpool, creating quite a few opportunities early on. “The Clarets have not signed x, y or z player...
Predicted Leeds starting XI: Bielsa to make two changes, 28-year-old returns
Leeds United travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday. The Whites are without a win from their opening two league games, but popular football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted a 2-0 victory for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Leeds have been far from impressive so far. A calamitous second half against Manchester United saw them losing 5-1 in their opening match. They had to come back from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Everton, where Raphinha scored a superb goal. One thing we have learnt about Leeds under Bielsa is that they are never going to change their style, and it won’t be different when they face Burnley tomorrow. In his pre-match press conference, Bielsa confirmed that Robin Koch is still injured and that the German won’t play any part in the game. However...
