Everton boss Martinez: Goals will flow for Barkley

Everton boss Roberto Martinez expects Ross Barkley to carry on scoring.

Barkley has already struck twice this season from midfield.

"Without doubt," was Martinez's answer when asked whether the 19-year-old's maiden Goodison strike will be the first of many.

"You are looking at the way he is growing game-by-game, he is becoming stronger and bigger. He has a terrific understanding of the game at such a young age.

"It's really pleasing and nobody deserved the goal more than Ross because of the work that he has put in in the previous five games.

"It was a special moment. Ross is a young diamond of English football. There is a long way to go, but he knows that. He wants to work so hard and that is a pleasure to see.

"I'm so pleased for him. To hit the back of the net for the first time at Goodison is going to be a special memory."
