Sam Allardyce insists Yannick Bolasie brings 'good balance' to Everton squad after shining in Brighton victory

Everton manager Sam Allardyce is delighted to have a fit Yannick Bolasie to call upon again and hopes the winger can bring balance to his side for the remainder of the Premier League season.

Bolasie, who returned from a serious knee injury towards the end of last year after 12 months on the sidelines, provided the cross that saw Brighton defender Gaetan Bong turn the ball into his own net on Saturday as Everton claimed a 2-0 win.

'What I liked is that when he produced the final ball that caused the first goal, his game got even better from then on,' Allardyce told the club's website.
