Everton-owned Muhamed Besic is starring for Middlesbrough.
Everton picked up a 2-0 away win at Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon, with Cenk Tosun and Idrissa Gueye getting themselves on the scoresheet for Sam Allardyce’s men.
It was a largely positive day for the Toffees, and further north of the John Smith’s Stadium, one of Everton’s loaned out misfits was enjoying a fine day himself.
Midfielder Muhamed Besic played a starring role for Middlesbrough in their 2-0 win over Millwall, with Britt Assombalonga and Jonny Howson grabbing the goals.
However, the man of the match award went to Besic, who was the driving force in the Boro midfield with an all-action display that not only showed off his defensive ability, but also the ability he possesses going forward.
The Bosnian international, 25, made just eight appearances for Everton this season, and has struggled to nail down a first-team spot since his 2014 move from Ferencvaros.
Besic was sent out on loan by Allardyce in January, and has been sensational for Boro, helping them clinch a Championship play-off place whilst earning the adulation of fans at the Riverside Stadium.
In fact, Everton fans watched Besic in action on Saturday evening, and praised his superb performance, calling for him to be used by the Toffees next season rather than sold this summer, noting he was creative and full of energy in midfield.
