Everton boss Roberto Martinez rates Leighton Baines among the best left-backs in the game.
Baines was superb during victory over West Ham United.
Martinez enthused: "As a left-back I have always said he is one of the best in European football.
"When the season gets tighter and the margins are smaller because players are getting physically tired, I think he has that extra margin because he is such a strong player.
"He has had a little interruption but I think Leighton can have a phenomenal end to the campaign."
