Everton v Leeds player ratings: Coleman 8, Van de Beek 7; Dallas 5, Meslier 6


  • English
  • Arabic

Donny van de Beek's impressive performance fired Everton to a 3-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday, handing manager Frank Lampard his first Premier League win since taking charge at the end of last month..

The 24-year-old on-loan Manchester United midfielder controlled the game and played a part in Everton's opener that was scored by Seamus Coleman.

"I thought Donny van de Beek was great. To play like that at home - his calmness, work rate and intelligence was great," Lampard said.

"I think he can do different roles and that's why I moved so quickly to get him. He played in a double number six today and has the talent to link and get us through the lines. He's a goal threat too, so that was one of the big pulls of bringing him in."

Everton secured just their second league win in 16 games in Lampard's home debut.

The Toffees looked transformed from the start and took the lead in the 10th minute when Coleman powered in a header for his first goal in 80 games.

That was followed by another rare goalscorer as centre-back Michael Keane headed in from Anthony Gordon's corner.

Victory moved Everton five points clear of the relegation zone and within a point of Leeds with a game in hand.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
