Everton fans want the club to sign a striker after pre-season victory against AS Monaco

Everton secured a 1-0 victory over AS Monaco on Friday, with a second-half goal from right-back Seamus Coleman proving to be the difference. It was a perfect way for the Toffees to end their eight-day stay in Alps, Switzerland – which saw them play three pre-season friendlies. The likes of Maarten Stekelenburg, Oumar Niasse, Lewis Gibson and Nathan Broadhead were given a chance to impress manager Marco Silva, while Kevin Mirallas also got playing minutes after coming on from the bench. It was the Dutch goalkeeper that stood out, though, as he denied the Ligue 1 side an opportunity to take the lead after making a penalty save before half-time.
