Everton manager Sam Allardyce has hailed Gylfi Sigurdsson has being a genius after he helped the Toffees claim a 3-1 victory over Swansea on Monday.
The Iceland international was brilliant against his former club and netted a superb goal to help his side win the game.
The win means that the Toffees extend their unbeaten run under new boss Allardyce and it takes them up to ninth position on the League standings.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Wayne Rooney were the other goal scorers while Leroy Fer scored to give the Swans the lead.
After the match, Allardyce was full of praise for Sigurdsson and said: “Then we changed the way we played, pushing Tom Davies on and Siggy…wow…it’s just what you need, isn’t it?,”
“He changes the game. We needed a bit of genius, a bit of brilliant piece of work from a player in your squad that can change the game when it’s in the balance.
“That’s what you need and that’s what we got. That’s what it’s all about. That [goal] took us on to win the game comfortably in the end and we played a lot better in the second half.”
