It's been some fortnight for Tom Cannon.
The teenager made his senior debut for Everton in the Carabao Cup defeat at Bournemouth - a major personal milestone and source of huge pride, a moment he savoured even though the defeat hurt that night. Five days later he was living through the same internal conflict as Frank Lampard handed him his Premier League debut in the same stadium, though once again it came on a difficult day for the team.
The landmarks in the young starlet's career have kept coming even as the season technically broke for the World Cup. He was selected for the club trip to Australia, played against Scottish giants Celtic and then came on against Western Sydney Wanderers and did precisely what he does best - score goals.
