Round joy at Yakubu return
Everton assistant manager Steve Round was delighted to see striker Yakubu find the net in his first start in almost a year in the 4-0 Carling Cup victory at Hull.
The Nigerian had been out after snapping an Achilles last November but he made a return to the starting XI and opened the scoring after 10 minutes and set up the third for Gosling before being withdrawn at half-time.
Round said: "He is a 20-goals-a-season striker. He has had nine months out and I have seen how hard he has worked to come back.
"It has been a long road for him so the whole team are delighted for him to get a goal."
On the reason for his substitution, he added: "He has got a slight thigh strain. We want him to train and be ready for Saturday so we took him off as a precaution."
