Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on Dominic Calvert-Lewis after the striker scored his second hat-trick of the season to progress Everton through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Ancelotti said the 23-year-old was 'on fire' after opening the scoring against West Ham in the 11th minute of the game, before finding the next again in the 78th and 84th minute.

Calvert-Lewis' performance will have given England manager Gareth Southgate a timely reminder of his talents before he selects his squad for this month's international triple header on Thursday.
