Everton 3 - 1 Southampton

Everton were able to beat Southampton on Benitez's debut in charge. Adam Armstrong was able to score on his debut for Southampton but it wasn't enough to beat the Toffees. Richarlison was able to equalise for Everton just after half time, with Doucoure and Calvert-Lewin adding the 2nd and 3rd goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin started last season in fine form, and he hopes to do the same this season starting with a goal versus Southampton.
