Best performance by an opposition player vs Everton

Efan Ekoku was like a man against boys when he scored 4 for Norwich.

Beat me to it. ??

Shout that he absolutely took the piss out of us. That Gerrard hattrick as well

Well if you score a hat trick you should be in the running for MOTM but the Liverpool right back that night was brilliant name was Kelly who later had a bad injury and was sold to Crystal Pal.

Riquelme, looked head and shoulders above every single player on the pitch with him

…he was an old man but Zlatan Ibrahimivic gave a masterclass of centre forward play when he came to Goodison a few years back. Playing as a lone striker, he went to war with our back four (I think he put Coleman out of the game) and he was technically brilliant with his back to goal play.

i watched him that afternoon in stark contrast to Lukaku who barely showed anything in leading the line for us.

Sebastian Frey at Goodison in the Uefa Cup for Fiorentina. he kept that score at 2-0 and got them to pens and through the tie that night.

Can we just sum it up as "pretty much anyone who had never scored before or has gone 30+ matches without scoring"?

2003/04 season at home against Bolton 1-2 defeat Jay Jay Okocha absolutely ran us ragged. Best individual performance I can remember.

Ledly King when we got beat 1_0 at home.

I still despise ET no9 but his demolition of us (his boyhood club)was heartbreaking.

Emanuel Petit in 99/00. Just absolutely bossed it and left 13 year old me wondering if I’d ever see Everton have players that good.

35 year old wainy still thinking "I've yet to see a player as good as Petit play for Everton"

I'm sure that was his debut as well

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Saw Gareth Barry absolutely dictate play for Villa against us at Villa Park. Cut above

 

[Yarrgh]

Juan Sebastian Veron. He seemingly had one blinder in English football and it was against us.

Also I remember Gordon Strachan not breaking a stride when a wayward pass to him went behind him and he backhealed it over his head and back into his run to the stadium all applauding. Just a particularly vivid memory of an opponent's skill.

There's been quite a few.

Ian Wright in the 93/94 season scored both in a 2-0 win for Arsenal; his second goal was taken from a Seaman long ball and he's played it from his right foot to his left and then back to right before dinking it over Southall.

Think that was the best goal I've seen scored against us in the flesh. But, like a few other posters, I am a big fan of midfielders who don't appear to break sweat while dictating play, Fabregas always seemed to do that. Think he even made Morata look half decent against us on one occasion too.
