Steven Naismith praises 'magnificent' Everton fans after receiving standing ovation despite scoring against them

Everton's EFL Cup upset at the hands of Norwich on Tuesday was overshadowed by the rare sight of the Goodison Park faithful giving a standing ovation to an opposing striker scoring against the home side.

Steven Naismith, who netted the opener in the 2-0 win, spent four years at the Merseyside club before he moved to Norwich in January but he remains a fan-favourite at the club.

Despite moving on from the club, the 30-year-old was full of praise for the Toffees and their fans, and admits he will always remember his time at the club fondly.
