Everton plan to make in-demand striker faster, stronger and more ruthless explained
Paul Tait has no doubt what the result will be when clinical Tom Cannon gets a chance in front of goal.
The Everton Under-21s boss praised his star forward after his latest strike sealed the side's 2-1 win over Mansfield Town in the Papa Johns Trophy at Goodison Park on Wednesday. The 19-year-old kept his composure to slot past Scott Flinders as the Blues scored twice in stoppage time to complete a dramatic comeback.
The goal was the latest evidence to showcase Cannon's talent. It ended a remarkable November in which he made his senior debut at Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and then his Premier League debut against the same opponent days later. The teenager then scored his first senior goal in the 5-1 win over Western Sydney Wanderers on the Blues' Australia tour.

Speaking shortly after watching Cannon send his team into the last 16 of the Papa Johns Trophy, Tait said: "When he gets in those positions there is no doubt - normally he is going to score. I'm delighted with him and he showed great character going off and getting a whack. I don't know if he got stitched but he had the bandage on and he was straight back into the action and scores the goal."
