Sam Allardyce sings Cenk Tosun praises after firing Everton to Brighton victory: 'The second goal was why we brought him to the club'

Everton boss Sam Allardyce felt Cenk Tosun showed why the club had signed him with his goal in Saturday's 2-0 home victory over Brighton.

Having collected the ball from Leighton Baines just inside the box in the 76th minute, Tosun cracked a shot in off the bar to double the Toffees' lead.

That was a week after the Turkey striker, signed in January from Besiktas for a reported fee of £27million, opened his Everton account at Burnley.

The hosts had gone in front through a 60th-minute own-goal by Gaetan Bong, who diverted the ball in while under pressure from Theo Walcott, another January signing.
