Alan Pardew has backed Andros Townsed to fill the void left by Yannick Bolasie following his departure from Crystal Palace to Everton.

Bolasie completed a switch to the Toffees over the summer, leaving the Eagles after a return of 13 goals in 133 appearances.

He bagged his first goal for his new club on Saturday – netting in a 3-1 win over Middlesbrough – exactly one day before his replacement at Selhurst Park netted his first strike for Pardew’s side.
