Everton manager Dyche delighted with winning Harrison debut

Everton manager Sean Dyche heaped praise on Jack Harrison after the winger made his debut for the club.

The 26-year-old put in a sensational display in the third round of the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa.

As the Toffees progressed to the fourth round, Harrison was a key figure, showing his quality in defence and attack.

Speaking after the 2-1 win, achieved through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Garner goals, Dyche said: I must say I think Jack Harrison has done fantastically well, he has only just had that game the other night with the development side and he said he felt fine, he said he was ready, and I believed him.

He looked ready, he was training freely. But to come in and play at this level with hardly any return to real football is very, very pleasing for me as a manager and him as a player.

"He is still getting fitter and sharper but it is not easy to come into these games and adapt tactically to deliver a performance. I was very impressed with him and his general professionalism."
