TIM Cahill today paid tribute to young-gun Seamus Coleman after the Irishman's man of the match display against Spurs.The Aussie, who also scored Everton's equaliser on his 30th birthday, said he was proud of how the defender has responded to a shaky away debut against Benfica in the Europa League earlier in the season.He said: 'He was fantastic. I've spoken about the young lads stepping up and taking the opportunity to do well and this is their chance. They've got to take it and be consistent.'Now it's about helping Seamus learn how to play in the Premier League. Today showed how well he is learning.'Coleman, a £150,000 signing from Sligo Rovers, recovered from a career-threatening injury in the summer when a blister on his foot became infected.Cahill said: 'His attitude is one of the best things about him. He never stops, works hard in training and loves being part of the team.'As a captain I'm proud of him and he deserves it.'
