James Rodriguez 8, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 7; Joey Pelupessy 6: Everton v Sheffield Wednesday player ratings


  • English
  • Arabic

Everton booked their place in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday night after a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Goodison Park.

England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring with his 15th goal of the season just before the half-hour mark. Brazilian forward Richarlison doubled the hosts' advantage midway through the second half before Yerry Mina added the third three minutes later.

A routine win for the Premier League side against second-tier opposition was notable for the debut of Thierry Small, who came off the bench to become Everton's youngest ever player at the age of 16 years of 176 days.

Everton will face either Wycombe Wanderers or Tottenham Hotspur for a place in the sixth round.

What drives subscription retailing?

Once the domain of newspaper home deliveries, subscription model retailing has combined with e-commerce to permeate myriad products and services.

The concept has grown tremendously around the world and is forecast to thrive further, according to UnivDatos Market Insights’ report on recent and predicted trends in the sector.

The global subscription e-commerce market was valued at $13.2 billion (Dh48.5bn) in 2018. It is forecast to touch $478.2bn in 2025, and include the entertainment, fitness, food, cosmetics, baby care and fashion sectors.

The report says subscription-based services currently constitute “a small trend within e-commerce”. The US hosts almost 70 per cent of recurring plan firms, including leaders Dollar Shave Club, Hello Fresh and Netflix. Walmart and Sephora are among longer established retailers entering the space.

UnivDatos cites younger and affluent urbanites as prime subscription targets, with women currently the largest share of end-users.

That’s expected to remain unchanged until 2025, when women will represent a $246.6bn market share, owing to increasing numbers of start-ups targeting women.

Personal care and beauty occupy the largest chunk of the worldwide subscription e-commerce market, with changing lifestyles, work schedules, customisation and convenience among the chief future drivers.
