Everton boss Marco Silva decided to let go of Shayne Lavery this summer, with the striker moving to Linfield.
Shayne Lavery has scored a Europa League brace, just months after leaving Everton.
Lavery never made a first-team appearance for Everton, despite spending four years at Goodison Park as a teenager.
But since leaving Everton he has quickly set about making a name for himself.
The 20-year-old forward departed Merseyside for Northern Ireland in the summer, and joined Linfield.
The former Everton man was in fine form last night, as he set up one of the big upsets of the evening.
Linfield won 3-2 against Qarabag to give themselves a genuine chance of qualifying for the Europa League group stages.
Lavery’s second goal was particularly impressive, as he ran from half way before curling the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the box.
Linfield will now take on Qarabag again next week, as they look to complete the shock result over two legs.
