Steven Naismith hopes his hat-trick heroics against Chelsea can lead to a regular starting berth in the Premier League with Everton.
Everton forward Steven Naismith has conceded that his remarkable hat trick against Chelsea was fueled by frustration.
Scotland international Naismith began Saturday's Premier League encounter in the familiar role of substitute but was thrust into the action when midfielder Muhamed Besic suffered a ninth-minute injury.
He proceeded to net a stunning treble, inspiring a 3-1 win over Jose Mourinho's ailing champions
"You could say there was a bit of frustration there. I think most times when you're not starting games you are frustrated," Naismith said, as quoted by The Daily Telegraph.
