BREAKING NEWS: Crystal Palace have been deducted 15 points by premier league due to…
As soon as video of Amadou Onana during Everton vs. Crystal Palace on February 19 surfaced, Michael Owen was ecstatic.
The match at Goodison Park finished 1-1 after Onana scored a spectacular header to force a draw, leaving the Toffees behind.
Although Jordan Ayew’s goal in the 66th minute appeared to be sufficient to seal the victory, the Belgian had other plans.
On February 19, at 10:09 p.m., Owen made the following statement at the Premier League Productions post-match show: “The height he got there was unbelievable, wasn’t it? Why not, given you have someone who can jump that high? The ball was in danger there.
For Everton, Onana is taller than Calvert-Lewin.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin loves these kinds of opportunities, but he has been without a goal for a while.
Owen and his former teammate have chastised him for it, and he realizes that this cannot go on.
Onana’s spectacular header demonstrated his aerial ability, and his entire play demonstrated why teams like Newcastle and Arsenal are showing interest in him.
Any team would benefit from his ability to outmuscle opponents and turn set-piece opportunities into goals.
It’s crucial to remember, though, that Onana is more than just a goal scorer.
Although his attacking efforts are praiseworthy, Calvert-Lewin and the other Everton attackers must step up and share the goal-scoring load.
In addition to highlighting the Belgian’s potential effect in both the offensive and defensive phases of the game, his goal against Palace also highlights how important it is for the entire attacking unit to contribute consistently in order to relieve pressure on their main goal scorers.
