Analysis: Calvert-Lewin quality on show as England calls grow
- Published
Chants of "England's number nine" rang around Elland Road as Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 10th goal of the season wrapped up the crucial win.
The relief was palpable.
He is the Premier League's top English scorer and his goals look as if they will fire his side to safety.
Calvert-Lewin's clever chested effort emphasised his confidence at a club which has helped him rediscover his form following his summer arrival on a free transfer.
He had scored just 13 goals in three seasons at Everton - last netting double figures in 2021 - but has revived his career in impressive fashion.
Few would have expected such a turnaround, but Daniel Farke has tapped into a scoring touch which looked to have deserted the 28-year-old.
It is the perfect time too, with England boss Thomas Tuchel having just one camp next month before this summer's World Cup.
Calvert-Lewin has not played for his country since 2021, but the clamour to add to his 11 caps will grow greater if he continues this impact and stays injury free.
