'What else could I do?' - Seamus Coleman explains gesture that said everything about Everton captain

Seamus Coleman has revealed what was going through his mind as he rallied Everton fans from his stretcher at Leicester City.

The club captain was left in agony after being grounded by a clumsy challenge from Boubakary Soumare in the first half at the King Power Stadium in May. The incident left him with a knee injury that ended his season - something he knew as he was being carried off the pitch.

Despite the pain, he turned to the away end as he left the pitch and pumped his fist, sparking a reaction from the travelling Blues. Everton went on to earn a valuable point that helped the club survive relegation at the expense of Leicester.
