The 2020-21 campaign was a season of soaring ambition for Everton as The Toffees, bolstered by the key signings of James Rodríguez, Allan, and Abdoulaye Doucouré, started the season brilliantly under manager Carlo Ancelotti and briefly topped the Premier League table. Spearheading the charge was their prolific striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, whose career-best 21 goals in all competitions, including 16 in the league, earned him the club's Player of the Season award. Calvert-Lewin's spectacular early form, including an unforgettable run of successive hat-tricks at Goodison Park, highlighted a season that included a famous 2-0 victory over rivals Liverpool at Anfield, their first win there since 1999, before the team ultimately secured a 10th-place finish and reached the quarter-finals of both domestic cups.
