Everton’s Ukrainian defender Vitaly Mykolenko demonstrated one of his best matches this season, for which he received a high rating from the SofaScore portal — 7.2 points. The match of the 12th round of the Premier League against Manchester United (1:0) was successful not only for the club, but also for the Ukrainian personally.

Mykolenko played all 90 minutes, doing a significant amount of defensive work. During the match, he touched the ball 57 times, made 18 accurate passes out of 28 (64%), won 1 duel out of 2 (50%), made 1 interception, 2 rebounds, 1 tackle, and also made 8 clearances. At the same time, the football player violated the rules once and lost the ball 18 times.

The match was historic for Everton: David Moyes’ side, subbed from the 13th minute and without the injured Seamus Coleman, beat Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time in 12 years.

In the 2025/26 season, Mykolenko has already played 11 matches for Everton in all competitions.

After 12 rounds, Everton has 18 points and is 11th in the Premier League standings. In the next round, the team will face Newcastle at home — the match will take place on November 29 at 19:30 Kyiv time.
