Dominic Calvert-Lewin left the pitch at Goodison Park with a smile on his face and the match ball in his left hand.
Another home game, another hat trick for the most talked-about striker in English soccer at the moment.
That a first England call-up arrived on Thursday came as no surprise, as the 23-year-old Calvert-Lewin is putting up numbers for Everton few thought he was capable of.
A three-goal haul in an English League Cup win over West Ham on Wednesday took his tally to eight goals in five games in all competitions. Not bad for a player long regarded as a striker who had pretty much everything except the most important attribute of all: Putting the ball in the net.
