Ronald Koeman says Dominic Calvert-Lewin took his chance to impress when training with the first team to deserve being rewarded with his Everton debut.
The teenage forward signed from Sheffield United in the summer and has helped fire the Under-23s to the top of their league table, as well as earning his first England youth caps.
And this month his season got even better when he was called upon from the bench to make his senior Blues bow in the 2-1 comeback victory against Arsenal.
Speaking at Finch Farm to evertontv, Koeman explained how he was happy to throw the youngster into the action as his side sought a late winner and explains the potential he has seen so far.
