Duncan Ferguson epitomised passion with his goal-scoring celebrations in his first game in charge of Everton.
The fiery Scotsman, already a favourite at Goodison Park for his two playing spells at the club, led the Toffees to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea as they bounced back from the Merseyside derby humbling that ultimately culminated in Marco Silva's sacking.
Despite upgrading from tracksuit to suit, Ferguson kept his Everton wristband on and was animated as ever on the touchline - kicking every ball and celebrating the last two goals by running down the line and sharing huge embraces with nearby ball boys.
Look at big Dunc go!! No ballboy is safe!!

Everton went 1-0 up early on through Richarlison's header and extended their lead in the second half through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who sealed the victory with a second strike ten minutes from time after Mateo Kovacic had pulled one back for the visitors.
