Tosun, Iwobi, Kean responsible for bizarre Everton stat

It’s a rare occurrence in football when a substitute is substituted, with managers only resorting to this in very unique and specific circumstances.

Not so at Everton, it appears, with the Toffees making something of a habit of substituting the sub this season.

For context, no Premier League this season have subbed off a substitute this campaign…apart from the Toffees, who have taken off a player who’s been brought on a whopping three times already.

Bizarrely, the Merseysiders have done this twice in the space of a week, with Moise Kean replaced after being brought on against Manchester United last weekend, only to be replaced at the death, and Cenk Tosun suffering the same fate against Arsenal on Saturday.
