Lucas Digne impressed for Everton in Sunday’s 4-0 win over Manchester United and was lauded by supporters on social media after the match. The 25-year-old got himself on the scoresheet with a brilliant volley from distance, netting Everton’s third goal of the game in the 56th minute, but he picked up an injury late on that threatens to end his season prematurely.
Outstanding as always Lucas ????????????????
