Nets first goal of season
O'Brien scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 3-3 draw versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.
Analysis: O'Brien had a major moment Monday as he gave Everton the lead before their eventual draw, bagging a headed goal in the 73rd minute. This comes as his first goal of the season, and only his second goal contribution. He also recorded one interception, two tackles and three clearances in the defense.
Standout defensive performance
O'Brien recorded 12 clearances in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Arsenal.
Analysis: O'Brien led the Everton defensive effort Saturday with 12 clearances as they conceded twice late in the second half of their 2-0 defeat at Arsenal. The 12 clearances mark a season-high for the central defender and just the second time over 29 appearances (27 starts) in which he's recorded double-digit clearances. Since returning from a one-match ban due to a red card, O'Brien has played three successive 90-minute shifts.
