Everton picked up an impressive point at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon. The Toffees kept the likes of Eden Hazard and co at bay in a 0-0 draw. The result was deserved for their hard-working effort and plenty of players impressed.

Even those who came off the bench caught the eye. One man in particular who did just that was Ademola Lookman.

The England under-21 international came on for Bernard and caused Chelsea some problems down the left-hand side. It was the sort of display that gives Everton fans hope that Lookman might still make it at Everton.

He should look no further than across Stanley Park to see how well his old pal Joe Gomez is doing to realise he should stick about.

Gomez has fought back from injury trouble to thrive at Liverpool since his move from Charlton Athletic. The pair played together at The Valley and Lookman can learn a lot from Gomez. If he keeps his head down and keeps working hard these cameos will become more regular. His form will improve and Everton boss Marco Silva will have questions to answer regarding his starting XI.

Lookman, who is wanted by former loan club RB Leipzig, must follow his old team-mate’s lead and work hard to make it on Merseyside. If he does, then Everton will have their own young talent to rave about.
