Maarten Stekelenburg 7

Produced possibly the pivotal moment of the tie, finger-tipping Maslo's firm header onto the crossbar 11 minutes into the second half. If the Dutchman's distribution was occasionally wayward – Jordan Pickford will have watched a couple of miskicks with an eyebrow raised – he performed a goalkeeper's more traditional duties well.

Cuco Martina 6

Quick, athletic and positive – but distribution left a little to be desired at times. Rarely seemed on the same wavelength as Calvert-Lewin down the right but whipped a couple of crosses in after the Under-20 World Cup winner's exit.

Michael Keane 7

A solid, dependable introduction. Always in the right place at the right time and used the ball well. Covers the ground quickly, too. Partnership with Williams needs a bit of work but he's already the dominant partner in the relationship. Even appeared in the outside right position in the 87th minute!

Ashley Williams 6

Gave away possession wastefully to give Daniel the opportunity to shoot midway through the first half and looks like he is still picking up match sharpness. But steadied down in the second and was effective enough.

Leighton Baines 8

It was a historic evening for Baines even before his 64th minute deadlock breaking strike, a 375th appearance overtaking the peerless Tommy Wright to become the Everton full-back with most matches on the clock. Even before that intervention he was polished, slick and rarely wasted a pass. And as for his fitness levels – machine-like.

Idrissa Gana Gueye 8

Was Everton's stand-out performer in the first few games of last season and clearly likes to hit the ground running. Sharp and incisive, despite being clattered by an early lunge, his passing was as impressive as his energy.

Morgan Schneiderlin 7

Usual array of clinical passes, timely interceptions and clever shielding of his back four – despite being slowed by a kick on the ankle early in the evening.

Kevin Mirallas 5

Barely noticeable until Macik spectacularly parried a fierce rising drive over the bar midway through the second half. That sparked a much needed improvement but not enough to prevent him being replaced nine minutes from time.

Davy Klaassen 7

Impressive introduction. Sees a pass early and the ball usually leaves his foot while most other players are thinking about it. Sliced a decent opening into the side-netting and might have been more self-centred with a couple of second half openings. But got 85 minutes under his belt and showed plenty of promise.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin 6

Made way after an hour, and a couple of painful tumbles, but had earlier carved out the first two openings of the game, one with some sterling retrieval work on the touchline for Rooney, the other with a deft first time pass to Klaassen.

Wayne Rooney 7

The popular choice for first goalscorer, he slipped in the act of shooring midway through the first half as several thousand Evertonians clutched their 7/2 slips excitedly. Fired another over the bar and took an air shot at another, but otherwise slotted seamlessly back onto his old stamping ground. Perhaps most importantly, got a full 90 minutes under his belt.

Substitutes

Sandro Ramirez (for Calvert-Lewin, 60 minutes) 7

'Busy' doesn't do the Spaniard justice. Perpetually on the move he added some much needed drive and energy into Everton's attacking efforts.

Ademola Lookman (for Mirallas, 81 minutes) 6

A couple of lively bursts but not enough time to make a significant impact.

Tom Davies (for Klaassen, 85 minutes) N/A

Late appearance for the promising midfielder.
