James Tarkowski took the headlines and instant plaudits but did substitute Jack Harrison fly under the radar for his performance in Wednesday’s drama-filled draw with Liverpool.

The winger came into the fixture for the injured Iliman Ndiaye on 25 minutes and proceeded to put a fine shift in at both ends.

Looking at post-match data from Opta, we can see Harrison had three touches in the Liverpool box and two shots inside the box – no Everton player had more.

He completed 20 of his 24 passes for a completion rate of 83.3%. Of the players who featured for a substantial spell in the game, only Tarkowski matched that rate. The likes of Ashley Young and Iliman Ndiaye had 100% completion but were brought on late on or taken off early in the fixture respectively.

Harrison also had 16 duels in the match, winning eight. Only Idrissa Gueye – who won nine – battled with more success in a blue shirt.

If that is not testament enough to his spirit, the on-loan Leeds player won three tackles and three fouls – both metrics saw him joint-top of Everton’s rankings.

The left flank occupied by Harrison was key for Everton, with 50% of their play featuring in that area when we look at data for attacking thirds.

Harrison had 55 touches on the night having missed over a quarter of the fixture. His tally was third in Everton’s team, with Vitaly Mykolenko (58) and Jarrad Branthwaite (61) bettering him – though both played the entire fixture.
