Everton secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in the second round of the EFL Cup, with goals from Dwight McNeil, Iliman Ndiaye, and Beto. Here’s how the players fared:

Jordan Pickford (7/10): Solid between the sticks, making a few crucial saves to deny Doncaster any real scoring opportunities.

Seamus Coleman (7/10): Returned to the starting lineup and brought a sense of calm to the defense, shaking off any rustiness with a solid performance.

Jake O’Brien (7/10): Impressive debut from the Irishman, who staked his claim for a starting spot with a dominant aerial display.

Michael Keane (6/10): Dominant in the air, but gave away a sloppy free-kick outside the box, which could have proven costly. Needs to work on his concentration and discipline.

Vitalyi Mykolenko (7/10): Quiet but effective evening for the Ukrainian, who provided a good assist for Beto’s goal. Deserves credit for his consistent performances.

Tim Iroegbunam (8/10): Everton’s driving force in midfield, producing moments of real quality and nearly netting his first goal for the club. Man of the match.

James Garner (7/10): Solid all-round display, including some great attacking moments and a clever third-man run that almost resulted in a goal.

Dwight McNeil (7/10): Bright performance, growing into the game and enjoying more freedom in a central position.

Jesper Lindstrom (5/10): Failed to impose himself on the game, struggling to beat the Doncaster full-back on multiple occasions. Needs to improve his ball control and decision-making to become a more effective attacker.

Iliman Ndiaye (8/10): Brilliant solo effort for his goal, beating two men and slotting home to give Everton daylight. Deserves credit for his pace and skill.

Beto (6/10): Scored Everton’s third goal but had a mixed game overall. Missed a guilt-edged chance earlier in the game and had some poor moments in possession. Must improve his finishing to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Substitutes:

Ashley Young (5/10): Came on as a substitute but made an immediate mistake with a careless tackle that earned him a yellow card. Was largely anonymous thereafter. Needs to be more careful with his tackling and work on making a more positive impact.

Idrissa Gueye (6/10): Smart touches in possession, but limited impact.

Jack Harrison (6/10): Good chance in the last 10 minutes, but fired over. Needs to work on his finishing.

Roman Dixon (6/10): Tidy when introduced, gaining valuable minutes.

Harrison Armstrong (6/10): Late introduction, with only a few touches.
