"I think he needed a goal,” he said, per the BBC.
“I was sure he was going to score; he is one of the penalty-takers too. I thought it was the moment for him to have and score.
"I am really happy he scored a boost of confidence for him. He could take on any player [after that] and a threat to Everton again."
