Alex Neil was not surprised to see Steven Naismith given such a great reception by Everton fans despite playing a major role in Norwich's 2-0 EFL Cup third-round victory at Goodison Park.
Naismith left the Toffees for the Canaries in January after three and a half years on Merseyside and his old fans have certainly not forgotten the hard-working Scot.
The 30-year-old was applauded by all sides of the ground when his name was announced and, more unusually, it was the same after he finished off a counter-attack to give Norwich the lead against the run of play with a left-footed shot that flew into the top corner via a deflection off his right leg.
