Everton boss Marco Silva has praised Phil Jagielka as his contract winds down.

He was brought on for a very brief cameo in the 2-0 win over Burnley on Friday night, replacing Gylfi Sigurdsson in injury-time to a rapturous reception at Goodison Park, in what could be a final appearance.

Silva said: "One different season to him, he didn't play like he played for the last 11 years.

"But his behaviour as a captain was really good, he understood a little bit his different role this season, the competition was really tough. The others did a fantastic season.

"He understood and helped always his team-mates, his behaviour during the week is really good.

"When his team needs him, he was there and he was everything what you expect from a fantastic professional and a good captain."
