adminRoy Keane is not known for handing out easy praise, but even the Premier League’s harshest critic couldn’t hide his admiration after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Brentford FC.
A Decisive Moment
With the game level deep into added time, Dewsbury-Hall delivered a moment of brilliance. Latching onto a loose ball at the edge of the box, he skipped past two defenders before firing a precise low effort into the bottom corner.
It was a deserved reward for a player who has revitalised Everton FC’s midfield with his energy, composure, and intelligence.
Keane’s Rare Praise
Speaking after the match, Keane — often outspoken when criticising players — was full of admiration for the 27-year-old.
“I’ve been tough on this Everton team, but Dewsbury-Hall stands out,” he said.
“He doesn’t shy away. He demands the ball in big moments. For me, he’s been their best player this season by a mile. He’s got real character — not someone who plays it safe. He goes for it.”
A Leader Under Moyes
Under David Moyes, Dewsbury-Hall has grown into a key figure. While he keeps a low profile off the pitch, his influence during matches is undeniable.
With several goals and crucial assists already this season, he has become central to Everton’s push for European football.
If he continues at this level, it won’t just be Keane praising him — many will start calling him one of the standout signings of the season.
