Everton captain Phil Jagielka delighted to be again on scoresheet

Everton captain Phil Jagielka was delighted with his goal in victory over Burnley.

Jagielka has revealed how dressing room jokes prompted his cartwheel goal celebration against Burnley on Saturday.

It was the captain's third goal in as many games following his overhead kick at Old Trafford and glancing header in last weekend's 4-2 victory Leicester City.

“The goals are nice and I don't score too many," said the defender. “I took a little bit of stick for my non-celebrations, so I thought I would mix it up.

“I don't even know if you can class it as a cartwheel - it was more like just some form of movement! It made a few of the lads laugh in the changing room but the main thing was to get the goal and the result again."
