Everton recorded a 1-1 draw away to Burnley on Saturday afternoon – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter gave massive credit to their defender Michael Keane for his performance.

The Toffees went behind in the opening three minutes when Robbie Brady fired the hosts ahead at Turf Moor, as he struck a low finish from outside of the box with his weaker right foot.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side equalised on the stroke of half-time with a close-range finish from English striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has to be considered one of the most in-form players across Europe right now.

But the Merseyside giants failed to find a winning goal in the second-half, with Gylfi Sigurdsson denied in the closing stages with an effort inside the box.

Everton temporarily moved up to seventh in the league table with their single point, but they may be disappointed about failing to win against a team currently in the relegation zone.

A selection of Everton supporters on social media felt that their player Keane deserved a special mention for his individual display on the weekend.

The 27-year-old centre-back captained the side on his return to former club Burnley and was a colossus at the back, as he was in a constant aerial battle with physical strikers and came out on top.
