Goal and assist Sunday
Tarkowski scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Tarkowski was involved in both of his side's goals Saturday as he opened the scoring in the 6th minute with an unassisted strike, then assisted Beto's goal in the 47th minute with a through ball. He now has five goal contributions this season, three of which have come in his last three matches. He played well on the defensive end too as he recorded two tackles, one interception, seven clearances and two blocked shots in his full 90 minutes of action.
Header provides assist
Tarkowski assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.
Analysis: Tarkowski delivered the assist on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 88th minute equalizer, rising to win a knockdown header off a long ball before teeing up the volley in what stood as the most impactful play by either center-back all game. He added four clearances and won one of his two tackles over the full 90 while anchoring the back line in the ongoing absence of Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring), who remains out for the rest of the season due to injury. Tarkowski has now started 28 Premier League matches and continues to be the backbone of Everton's defensive shape with his anticipation and game reading proving vital down the stretch.
