Everton winger Kevin Mirallas has declared himself delighted on Instagram after making his first league appearance for Olympiakos since returning to the Greek champions on loan.

The 30-year-old joined his former side on loan until the end of the season in a bid to save his 2018 World Cup chances with Belgium, after being afforded 136 minutes of Premier League action this season.

He starred in Olympiakos’ 2-0 win over Platanias in the cup last week before starting and remaining on the pitch for an hour against PAS Lamia in the Greek Super League, which also resulted in a 2-0 win.

Former Chelsea playmaker Marko Marin and striker Karim Ansarifard scored the goals to push the Greek giants back to the top of the table, and Mirallas described the victory as an “important Championship game win”.

Mirallas had made just 14 appearances in total for Everton, with seven of those coming in the Europa League as he fell down the pecking order behind the likes of Aaron Lennon, Yannick Bolasie, Ademola Lookman and Nikola Vlasic.

The 59-time Belgium international could still have a future at Goodison Park, with more than two years remaining on his current deal with the Merseyside giants.
