Toffees skipper Cahill tips Coleman for the top

TIM CAHILL believes that Ireland’s Seamus Coleman has the quality and potential to take advantage of the ongoing injury crisis at Everton after the former Sligo Rovers defender finally announced himself to the Premier League during his team’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Making his fourth appearance for Everton, Coleman, who joined Everton in a €166,000 (£150,000) deal in January, was superb against Harry Redknapp’s side, after coming off the bench to replace the injured Joseph Yobo in the early stages on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Tim Howard made the headlines with an injury-time penalty save from Jermain Defoe but Coleman’s contribution is a rare positive in what has been a desperately frustrating campaign for manager David Moyes.
