Everton Continues Success

By Hunter O. Lyle

            On Feb. 28, Everton FC faced off against Crystal Palace in a Premiere League contest, eventually beating their English rivals 3-to-1 and pushing their win streak to six games straight.

            The first goal came for Everton in the 18th minute of the game off a shot from 27-year-old Bernard. After that, the game remained scoreless, with both teams battling up and down the field without claiming any fruits to their labor.

            In the second half, with Everton up 1-to-0, Crystal Palace answered with a goal in the 51st minute. Christian Benteke scored an easy goal that snuck by Jordan Pickford, British’s best goalie who also plays for the England national team. Besides tying the game, the goal marked the first for Benteke in the last 19 games.

            With the match tied at 1-a-piece, Everton went on the attack. With its interior ironclad defense refusing to allow any drives towards the goal, including clearing two consecutive corner kicks, and seven minutes after Crystal Palace tied the game, Everton took back the lead with a breakaway goal in the 58th minute from the 22-year-old Brazilian, Richarlison.

            In the 88th minute, Everton once again scored, sealing the victory. After a missed corner from Lucas Digne, Dominic Calvert-Levin collected the rebound and scored past Vicente Guaita. With only a few minutes left in the match, the two-goal lead was too much for Crystal Palace to recover from, giving Everton their tenth win on the year.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
