Two crosses in 1-0 win
Maitland-Niles registered two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Ipswich Town.
Analysis: Maitland-Niles attempted two crosses as Everton defeated Ipswich 1-0. This was his third game for Everton this season with this being his second start at right-back in a row. This was the first time he has played this season that he hasn't taken a shot. He did create two chances in this game, his most of the season so far.
Scores late equalizer on debut
Maitland-Niles scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
Analysis: Maitland-Niles made an immediate impression in his first appearance for Everton since arriving from Lyon during the week, scoring a long-range equalizer late in the match to rescue a point. Turning his only attempt into his first goal of the season was an ideal introduction, especially given his limited time on the pitch. His versatility should be particularly useful moving forward, with Maitland-Niles capable of providing depth in midfield as well as in several roles across the defensive line.
