Former Everton striker Andy Gray has admitted it is frustrating to see Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring consistently for Leeds United, but he maintains the forward had lost his way at Goodison Park.
Calvert-Lewin extended his scoring streak to six consecutive games on Sunday, December 28, 2025, during Leeds’ 1-1 draw away at Sunderland. The 28-year-old moved to Elland Road on a free transfer in August 2025 after a nine-year spell with the Toffees came to an end.
While his stock was low when he left Merseyside due to recurring injuries, he has undergone a “stunning revival” under Daniel Farke. Gray noted that while it is painful for Everton fans to see him thrive elsewhere, the consistency he is now showing was absent during his final three years at Everton.
Speaking on beIN SPORTS 1, Gray remarked: “It is frustrating, of course. These are the figures he never showed at Goodison in the last few years. He’s back in the six-yard box where a centre-forward should be. He lost his way at Everton—he was hardly ever fit, and we needed more reliability than that.”
With Calvert-Lewin as the leading English scorer in the league this season, Leeds United have moved seven points clear of the relegation zone, while Everton continue to search for a regular goal-scorer.
