Dominic Calvert-Lewin has credited manager Sean Dyche and his Everton teammates for their support this season as the Blues forward returned to goalscoring form.

The Everton No.9 scored from the spot in Friday's 1-1 draw away to Luton Town, his fourth goal in his past five appearances.

After enduring a 23-match goalless streak, the encouragement from those in the Everton dressing room has allowed him to return to form, says Calvert-Lewin.

“I’ve had as much [support from the dressing room and manager] as I needed, really. I always reflect on my own performances and I know when I’m not quite there," he was quoted in the Liverpool ECHO.

“Nobody puts more pressure on me than myself. It’s a good group and they supported me through it.

“I always knew that I was going to score eventually. I was just a matter of time.”

His recent performances could see Calvert-Lewin selected for Gareth Southgate's 26-man England squad for this summer's European Championship.

When asked if he still has aspirations to return to international football, he said: “Of course. That’s always my main goal, to play for my country – it’s the best feeling in the world.

“For now, I’m fit and healthy and scoring goals and I’ll see where that takes me. I believe that on my day, I belong there.”

In other news, former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard was inducted into the USA's National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Howard - who represented the Club on 414 occasions - spoke fondly of his time with the Blues and his pride to be an Evertonian.

"Everton Football Club. And David Moyes. If Manchester United is the biggest football club in the world then Everton is without a doubt the greatest," he said in his acceptance speech.

"Everton is one of the best things that ever happened to me in my life. I am so very proud to be an Evertonian and what that means and how much of a fabric of the club that I am.

"David Moyes is the greatest manager I ever played for. I stand before you today to tell you that if he asked me to run through the gates of Hell seven days a week, I'd smash them every single day because that's how great it was.

"He instilled in me leadership, accountability, responsibility, taught me to be mature. I grew up into the person that I always hoped I'd be playing for David Moyes."
