While Everton spent the weekend being knocked out of the FA Cup, two of their midfielders were continuing to catch the eye elsewhere. And it's fair to say that Blues supporters certainly took notice.
Jean-Philippe Gbamin, having struggled to consistently break into the Blues side over the course of the campaign, completed a loan switch to CSKA Moscow in the winter transfer window. He's played 90 minutes in each of his four Premier Liga appearances in Russia, which was a real rarity over his time on Merseyside thanks to numerous injury issues.
In fact, his performance at the weekend in a thumping 6-1 win against Rubin Kazan saw him bag a goal, an assist and a well-deserved man-the-the-match trophy for his efforts. Not only is the former Ivory Coast international clocking up some crucial minutes in the tank, but he's making them count as well.
