Everton were the second least efficient team in the competition in the previous two Premier League editions. This season, they hold the same position, as Southampton, with 11, are the only side that found the net fewer times than Everton, Crystal Palace, and Ipswich, with 14 each.Everton captain gives joy to a 15-year old Australian fanAt the end of both aforementioned PL campaigns, Everton’s top scorers were at the sum of seven goals each. A pretty weak tally as the Toffees severely lack a strong and reliable attacking figure since Dominic Calvert-Lewin does not seem to be the one.Craig Dawson is Everton’s joint-second top scorer this season…He plays for Wolves! pic.twitter.com/xhYZCuYH5z— Pie Sports Booze 🔞 PARODY (@piesportsbooze) December 5, 2024 Nevertheless, Everton’s clash against Wolverhampton five days ago – apart from the three points they convincingly won – might have brought a possible scoring option to the Liverpool side. None other than Wolves’ defender Craig Dawson, who conceded not one, but two own goals and immediately launched himself to the joint-second place among the Toffees’ Premier League top scorers!Two Craig Dawson own goals help Everton to a 4-0 win over Wolves.#EVEWOL | #EFC pic.twitter.com/jgja1LPnhN— The Athletic | Football (@TheAthleticFC) December 4, 2024 Jokes aside, the experienced 34-year-old Dawson joined the selected company of four more players who scored more than one own goal in a PL match – Jamie Carragher, who made two blunders against none other than Man United in Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat in 1999, Sunderland’s Michael Proctor versus Charlton, Jonathan Walters of Stoke, who “helped” Chelsea, and, most recently, Leicester’s Wout Faes, whose two own goals brought Liverpool a 2-1 triumph over the Foxes two years ago.
