Everton clinched a 2-1 win at Stoke City on Saturday to heap more misery on the hosts.

Sam Allardyce's men took the lead through Cenk Tosun when he struck in the second-half.

Eric Choupo-Moting equalised despite Stoke being reduced to ten men when Charlie Adam was shown a straight red card in the first-half.

Tosun hit again with ten minutes remaining to give the visitors all three points.

Everton boss Allardyce said of Tosun: “He's adapted much quicker than lots of front men who came from abroad into the Premier League, particularly in January. Taking him out of the firing line and giving him the opportunity to get to know the players – particularly in Dubai – do the extra training he's done, we're seeing the full benefits of that now.

“He did it last week against Brighton and he's the major reason why we won today."

Asked how Tosun has improved in recent weeks, Allardyce added: “He's always had the finishing in his locker. His hold-up play has got better. He's got the whole array of finishing in his locker – heading, left foot, right foot, tap-ins, follow-ups – he's got this knack of being in the right place at the right time and he was certainly that with the quality of his second finish.

“It looks like he's got that knack. He seems to be born with that instinct of where to be."
