Dominic Calvert-Lewin took a swipe at the Everton boo boys after marking his return from injury with a goal in the 3-1 win at Brentford.<\/p>\n
The England striker was jeered by some fans after he went off with a fractured cheekbone during the 4-0 defeat at Aston Villa at the start of the season.<\/p>\n
But he showed the Toffees what they have been missing by climbing off the bench to wrap up their first win of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball is a funny old game,\u201d Calvert-Lewin told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came off against Aston Villa my own fans booed me off. Today they cheered me. I\u2019ll relish this and take the rest with a pinch of salt.\u201d<\/p>\n
James Tarkowski had headed the Toffees back into the lead against his old club after Mathias Jensen cancelled out Abdoulaye Doucoure\u2019s opener before half-time.<\/p>\n
Then Calvert-Lewin grabbed only his second goal since last October when he collected James Garner\u2019s through-ball and slotted home.<\/p>\n

.Boss Sean Dyche insisted a vastly improved display had been on the cards for a while despite picking up just one point from their first five matches.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI don\u2019t think it came from\u00a0 anywhere. The signs have been there but you have to change the storyline, you have to take your chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo come in at 1-1 was a bit of a head-scratcher, so to come out in the second half and be so calm again was very pleasing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very pleased with the whole performance. My job is to look at the performances, win or lose. We\u2019ve deserved more but you\u2019ve got to force it and today we did.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a good chat in the week with the players and said it\u2019s us who have to change the story.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tough playing well and not getting results. That\u2019s where you should grow and have on-pitch maturity and play under pressure and that\u2019s what we did today.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bees, by contrast, were distinctly off-colour and are still without a win at home this season.<\/p>\n
Boss Thomas Frank said: \u201cIt was a very bad day. Everton deserved to win, we performed badly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe performed very well in our first first five games, but today was a bad one.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was very unlike this group of fantastic players, but we are good at bouncing back from a bad performance and I expect us to bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n
