Gana: Point Gives Us Platform

Idrissa Gana Gueye believes Everton’s late equaliser against Manchester United provides an ideal platform for the busy festive period.

The 27-year-old Senegalese international was brought down inside the area by Marouane Fellaini in the dying minutes of the game, allowing Leighton Baines to convert from 12 yards to cancel out Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s first-half opener.

Gana, who is set to miss up to a month of the season when he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations in the New Year, believes the Blues’ late show will provide a timely confidence boost.
