Assists in third straight start
Maitland-Niles assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hull City.
Analysis: Maitland-Niles made his third consecutive Premier League start and played 78 minutes, setting up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's equalizer in the 55th minute with a well-placed cross. The versatile defender recovered from an earlier mistake that contributed to Hull's opening goal, making an important attacking contribution despite a mixed defensive performance. He has now registered one goal, one assist, five chances created, six tackles and nine clearances across four league appearances, including three starts. His recent run of starts and growing attacking involvement strengthen his case for retaining a regular role on the right side of Everton's defense.
