Tyler Dibling delivered one of his best performances in an Everton shirt to date on Wednesday as he played a starring role in their 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup third round.

The 20-year-old winger picked up an assist during the tie to help ensure that the Toffees progressed into the fourth round.

On top of this, the youngster had an overall superb game and was one of the key reasons why the club progressed into the next round.

Dibling is yet to play in a single Premier League match this season, with David Moyes instead keeping him on the bench as an unused substitute.

However, this must now come to an end on Saturday when Everton host Ipswich Town at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The winger’s performance has surely earned him a guaranteed starting spot as the club looks to get back to winning ways.

How good was Tyler Dibling vs Wolves?

Dibling was excellent against Wolves, and was arguably the best player on the pitch.

According to Fotmob, he completed 90 per cent of his passes, created two chances, two big chances, had a 0.32 xA, had five touches in the opposition’s box, completed three out of four attempted dribbles, performed three tackles, five recoveries and won nine out of 14 ground duels.

Therefore, not only was Dibling influential in attack, but he was also more than capable of helping out defensively.

Wolves are no pushovers either, despite their Championship status, and could easily be a Premier League team next season.

As a result, Dibling’s performance deserves a lot of credit, and he now has to be one of the first names on the team sheet for the Toffees’ upcoming home clash against Ipswich.

Did Everton deserve to beat Wolves?

Overall, Everton were deserved winners against Wolves on Wednesday.

The Toffees had 62 per cent possession, 16 shots, six of which were on target, 41 touches in the opposition’s box, five big chances and a 1.68 xG.

In comparison, Wolves had 38 per cent possession, six shots, two of which were on target, eight touches in the opposition’s box, zero big chances and a 0.26 xG.

Now, Everton must look to prioritise the Carabao Cup as they look to end their ongoing major trophy drought.
