The 37-year-old has been limited in his chances this season, but Ten Hag believes the Everton winner can create a purple patch in front of goal.

“Every player needs it [confidence] Even if you’re the best in the world, you need goals,” Ten Hag said at a press conference. Once they have some goals, they come easier and then the goals come with the flow.
