Taylor Dibblin: I'm very happy with my performance and hope to maintain this level.

Tyler Dublin hopes to maintain the confidence he displayed against Wolves and continue contributing to Everton with a positive attitude. The 20-year-old striker impressed in Everton's 1-0 victory over Wolves in the third round of the English League Cup at Hill Dickinson Stadium, providing an assist to seal the win. In the 80th minute, he provided the assist for Charley Alcaraz to score the only goal of the game, which was also Dublin's first assist since joining Everton.  

Taylor Diblin, who joined Everton from Southampton in the summer of 2025, consistently put pressure on Wolves' defense on the right flank in this match. Besides his attacking contributions, he also demonstrated a strong defensive presence and a willingness to give his all. With the score still 0-0 after 60 minutes, Diblin quickly dropped back to defend and made a crucial tackle to defuse a threat posed by Tawanda Chirewa.  

In a post-match interview with Everton TV, Tyler Dublin stated that his performance in this game was closer to his form during his time at Southampton. Back then, his consistent and outstanding play earned him recognition as a highly promising young player. The England U21 international also discussed his mental shift against Wolves and expressed his hope to maintain this positive momentum and continue contributing to Everton.  

Taylor Dublin said: “This is a very important victory. Of course, we had chances to convert more chances into goals. We also created some good chances in the first half, but the most important thing is that the team ultimately won. I am very happy with my performance today. It brought back the feeling I had when I played for Southampton a few years ago. Now, I finally feel like I can really show my strength here, and today's game made me feel very good.”  

"When I get the ball, I feel more confident and I don't care too much about what others think. Instead, I firmly believe in my own abilities. This is the mindset I've been working hard to build, and it really helps me in training every day. I keep pushing myself to give more, while also learning not to put too much pressure on myself. Now, I just want to keep raising my standards."
