26 August 2009 02:45
Everton striker Yakubu scored within 60 seconds of his comeback game against Burnley reserves last night. Yakubu, 26, who played an hour and set up Dan Gosling for a second goal, has been out for nine months with an Achilles injury.  Meanwhile, Everton's new signing Diniyar Bilyaletdinov spoke of his pride yesterday at following in the footsteps of his hero Andrei Kanchelskis and vowed to justify the Goodison Park club's £10million outlay to prise him away from Lokomotiv Moscow. He said: 'I am very happy the deal is done, and David Moyes congratulated me on the move when he spoke to me on the phone yesterday.'
