Everton fullback Leighton Baines has hailed the form of Aaron Lennon.

Lennon is on-loan at Everton from Tottenham.

Baines said: "I remember before he'd played, and I got asked about him, I said that something people don't always give him credit for is his work-rate.

"You don't always notice that until you're with him or against him and I've done both. It is something I've always known.

"It starts to embarrass people into doing it as well.

"If you're not doing it and someone, who is not only giving you loads at the top end of the field but is also coming back and doing that, it embarrasses people into doing that.

"It is infectious but it is also encouraging when you see someone who is renowned for his attacking threat working so hard, it makes the other lads want to match that. He has been infectious."
