Beckford all set to ignite

EVERTON defender Leighton Baines believes Jermaine Beckford’s dramatic late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Bolton on Wednesday night could provide just the spark the striker needs.

Beckford came off the bench at Goodison Park to open his Barclays Premier League goalscoring account by curling home a brilliant leveller for the 10-man Toffees deep into injury time.

The 26-year-old has struggled to make an impact since his free transfer from Leeds in the summer – netting just once previously with a penalty in a Carling Cup tie against Huddersfield – but Baines hopes the corner may now have been turned.
