Duncan Ferguson left stunned by Everton star player performance against Fulham, the best he has seen from an Everton player this season
Everton legend Duncan Ferguson was left stunned by the outstanding performance of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (KDH) in the Toffees’ recent victory over Fulham. The former striker and passionate Everton icon hailed it as the finest individual display by any Blues player this season.
In a hard-fought Premier League encounter at Goodison Park, Dewsbury-Hall delivered a masterful showing that inspired Everton to a convincing win. Operating in central midfield, the summer signing from Chelsea dominated proceedings with his relentless energy, intelligent movement, and exceptional quality on the ball. He broke up Fulham attacks with sharp interceptions, drove forward with purpose, and provided the creative spark that unlocked the visitors’ defense. His composure, vision, and work rate were on full display, culminating in key contributions—including a clinical goal that sealed the comeback and put Everton ahead.
Ferguson, known for his deep love of the club and candid assessments, was visibly impressed. Speaking after the match, he described KDH’s performance as “something else entirely—the best I’ve seen from an Everton player all season.” He praised the 27-year-old’s leadership, intensity, and ability to influence every phase of play, adding that it reminded him of the kind of commanding midfield displays that define great Everton teams.
The game highlighted Dewsbury-Hall’s growing influence since his £29 million move in August 2025. After a period of adjustment and a recent hamstring setback, this outing marked a return to top form. He covered the pitch tirelessly, won crucial duels, and combined grit with technical brilliance—qualities that earned him widespread praise from fans and pundits alike.
For Ferguson, whose Everton legacy is built on passion and big-game moments, seeing KDH produce such a complete performance offered real optimism. Amid a season of ups and downs, this display stands out as a beacon of quality and a sign that the midfielder could become a cornerstone for the club. Evertonians will hope it’s the first of many such standout showings from their No. 22.
