Everton fan left frustrated after reaction to Seamus Coleman performance

An Everton fan was left frustrated after they felt Seamus Coleman did not get the plaudits he deserves after last weekend's performance.

Coleman returned to Everton's starting line up at the weekend and was one of their star performers as they beat Southampton 2-1.

Going a goal behind in the 49th minute, Everton bounced back with goals from Conor Coady and Dwight McNeill.

Club captain Coleman played the full 90 minutes and was praised by boss Frank Lampard after the win.

The Everton boss said: "It's really useful to say the least and the bigger picture of the story is for Seamus to be injured, to carry an injury at the end of the season, to have an operation and not play 90 minutes for a long time and to be thrown in.

"Patterson has been playing great, we all know that, Seamus hasn't been able to get game minutes, so I'm delighted for him to come up - particularly in the second half. There were balls being chipped in at the back post and he was dealing with things with his experience and his quality and so I am really pleased for him and he will be so much the better for having those 90 minutes."

And one Everton fan felt that Coleman didn't quite get the credit he deserved.

Writing on Twitter, he said: "How come theres been no love for Seamus Coleman who had a great game on saturday. Proper club servant that never hides or lets us down."

While another said: "Had zero worries when i learnt Seamus Coleman would come back in for 4 weeks"
