Steven Naismith scores for Norwich in EFL Cup win versus Everton

Steven Naismith was applauded by all sides of Goodison Park after scoring the goal that sent Norwich on their way to a third-round EFL Cup upset at Everton.
The popular forward, who left Everton in January, put the Canaries in front just before half-time against the run of play and Josh Murphy clinched a 2-0 victory with a superb second.
Naismith was given a very warm reception before the game and returned the compliment by refusing to celebrate his goal.
The result was a measure of revenge for Alex Neil's team, who were beaten on penalties at Goodison Park in the fourth round last season, and meant a first defeat as Everton boss for Ronald Koeman.
