Bite As Bad As His Bark

One of England's big young hopes has started the new season with a bang and will relish being the go-to man for Everton.

There weren’t many aspects to cheer for home fans at Goodison Park on the opening day, but Ross Barkley was most certainly one.

With Leighton Baines potentially out for three months and Romelu Lukaku continuing to look abject, the Toffees are badly in need of a talisman and the young Englishman is the one looking to step up.

The 21-year-old netted an absolute stunner in the 76th minute to draw Everton level and it was one of four attempts he had as he looks to recapture his goalscoring form of 2013-14 at the very least.


Barkley has benefitted from a strong pre-season, unlike last year, and with confidence restored looks a great first goalscorer prospect at 12/1.

Ladbrokes not only offer best price, but will double the odds if your selection breaks the deadlock inside the first 25 minutes. That’s 24 points up for grabs!

*Double FGS odds if he scores in first 25 minutes. Ladbrokes are applying this promotion to all matches shown live on BBC, ITV, SkySports, ESPN and BT Sport 1&2. Max odds £25, T&Cs apply.
