Dominic Calvert-Lewin squandered a glorious opportunity for Everton, marked by fans as ‘the most appalling miss I’ve witnessed.’ The Toffees, hosting Newcastle on Thursday (December 7) in the Premier League, aimed to capitalize on their recent 1-0 away victory against Nottingham Forest.
In a lackluster first-half display from both teams, the 26-year-old had a fantastic chance to push Everton into the lead but disappointingly sent the ball over the crossbar from a mere four yards out. Instantly distraught by the horrendous miss, Calvert-Lewin’s error left fans groaning, recognizing the gravity of the moment in the game.
Social media erupted with astonishment at the miss, with one user on X (previously Twitter) exclaiming, “CALVERT LEWIN OH MY GOD THATS THE WORST MISS IVE EVER SEEN,” while another questioned, “How has Calvert Lewin missed from there?”
A third fan summed it up bluntly, stating, “That’s an unforgivable miss from Calvert-Lewin. You just cannot miss those.” The forward from Sheffield has only managed to score three league goals this season and is currently in a goal drought spanning his last three games.
Currently positioned 18th in the Premier League, Everton finds themselves two points away from safety after incurring a 10-point deduction due to breaching profit and sustainability regulations. This deduction led to the club’s descent from 14th to 19th place, prompting them to release a statement confirming their intent to contest the punishment.
The club expressed disappointment and shock regarding the Premier League Commission’s ruling, labelling the imposed sanction as wholly disproportionate and unjust. Everton has communicated their plan to appeal the decision, initiating an appeal process to be heard by an appointed Appeal Board according to the Premier League’s regulations.
Facing a challenging month ahead, Sean Dyche’s team confronts formidable opponents in Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester City, a period that could define the fate of their season.
