Six of them are saved Olson. The Swedish goalkeeper has played just three Premier League games this season and certainly grabbed his rare start with both hands.

“Usually we can score three or four goals.”
Considering the number of saves Olsen made, it was clear that he contributed enormously to Everton’s victory.
Raphinha was the only one to score for the Whites, scoring his fourth goal of the season in the 48th minute.
