Uploading a picture of her hubby, who was a late sub in the 2-0 win over Southampton, she said: “30 goals at Goodison.
“Top 3 ever. They might not shout about it – but we’re proud every single day.”
After receiving some vile abuse, Sandra doubled down on her support for Calvert-Lewin.
She added: “I’ve seen the unseen moments – the recovery, the doubt, the strength it took to keep going. The world saw Dominic Calvert-Lewin the footballer. I see the man I love. And I’m endlessly proud of both.”
And now, Everton have released a statement slamming the disgraceful comments aimed at Calvert-Lewin’s partner.
It read: “Everton Football Club strongly condemns the threatening, racist and misogynistic abuse directed towards the wife of Dominic Calvert-Lewin on social media.
“This sinister and intimidating behaviour is not only deeply hurtful and distressing, it is also criminal — and does not represent the values of Everton or the overwhelming majority of our supporters.
“The Club has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of discriminatory and abuse behaviour.
“We are working closely with Merseyside Police and the Premier League to ensure the individuals responsible are identified and held accountable for their actions.
“Threats or abuse of any kind — whether online or in person — are completely unacceptable and have no place in our game or in society.
“The Club urges anyone who sees or experiences such behaviour to report it to the authorities and relevant social media platforms immediately.
“We will continue to offer our full support to Dominic and his family.”
Calvert-Lewin and Sandra have been together for many years and welcomed their first child together in 2023.
In June 2024 the Everton star proposed to his partner.
And they got married in March at a registry office with just a few close friends and family in attendance.
