Sean Dyche said age will be irrelevant to Seamus Coleman while he retains the "edge" that still underpins his performances.
The Blues boss praised the 34-year-old for his defensive display against Leeds United, highlighting his work to nullify talented winger Wilfried Gnonto before describing his match-winning goal as a "fantastic finish".
The second half strike provided Dyche with his second win in his first three games in his new role and moved Everton out of the bottom three. The manager stressed the importance of each player within the squad to the result but acknowledged Coleman's contribution on Saturday.
