Seamus Coleman was the hero for Everton on Saturday afternoon.
Coleman secured three very valuable points for the Toffees away to Crystal Palace with a late goal. The Republic of Ireland captain has flourished for Everton since Ronald Koeman switched to using three central-defenders. Coleman and Leighton Baines are now playing as wing-backs and given license to attack. According to football statistics website Who Scored, Coleman was the best player on the pitch at Selhurst Park, and he would prove the difference between the sides with a late goal.
Coleman scored from an acute angle with less than five-minutes to play.
Everton pushed for a winner, and the Irish defender kept his cool after being played-in with a clever pass from Tom Davies.
Coleman gave Wayne Hennessey no-chance as he lifted it over his head and left Sam Allardyce wishing he was still England manager.
Never mind Sam - why not drown your troubles with a nice pint of wine...?
