Bernard got his first Goodison league start on Sunday against Crystal Palace but fans were left in two minds by his performance.

Fans were blown away with their new man at the start of the game and then frustrated by him as the game seemed to get away from him.

The 26-year-old Brazilian winger signed on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk over the summer.

He has been introduced into the Everton set-up gradually, making his first league start in the 2-1 win against Leicester before the international break.

He impressed in that game with a second assist in a row, after providing one in the the 3-0 win against Fulham, despite only being on the pitch for two minutes.

The 26-year-old Brazilian winger was at it again at Goodison today and fans were hugely impressed with what they saw at the start, with one fan saying he gets better each game.

Another said that he could kill a ball at 200mph, instantly, and called him “quality”.

And the Everton fans went home happy after two late goals secured them their third win in a row.

Here are the best reactions from Everton fans to Bernard in the game against Crystal Palace:

Unfortunately, the adulation didn’t last and fans started getting frustrated at all of Everton’s creative players as they failed to break the Palace side down.

Bernard wasn’t spared from the criticism and was hooked after 67 minutes:
