Everton continue to make a meal of their Europa League campaign, having been held to a home draw by Apollon Limassol.

The Greeks managed to draw 2-2 with Everton at Goodison Park and it was just reward for a dogged performance.

Everton struggled in attack, benefiting from a ridiculous backpass which let Wayne Rooney in for the easiest goal he has ever scored.

They only looked brighter when Dominic Calvert-Lewin came on, but BT Sport pundit Martin Keown said after the game that he felt two more players should have been introduced.

Keown pointed out that he felt attackers Ademola Lookman and Kevin Mirallas should have been utilised.

He said: “They (Everton) were slow, they were ponderous. I look at Mirallas and Lookman on the bench, both are good runners on the ball.

“I don’t feel he (Koeman) is using best of his squad.”

Mirallas, 29, has been an afterthought this season at Everton.

The Belgian has made just three appearances, all as a substitute, and totalled just 35 minutes of football.

19-year-old Lookman has also been used sparingly, making three Europa League appearances, but is yet to feature in the Premier League.
