Everton boss Ronald Koeman: Mason Holgate performs like a veteran

Everton boss Ronald Koeman is delighted with the progress of Mason Holgate.

The defender was again impressive for victory at West Brom.

"I'm very pleased with the young boy [Holgate]. He looks like he's already played two seasons for Everton. He was comfortable. It's not easy for him to be a third centre-back and then we changed system and he played right-back," said Koeman.

"He did a great job against [Craig] Gardner and [James] McClean. He was stopping crosses and he has a great attitude."
