Everton keeper Howard happy Cahill broke his duck

Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard was delighted seeing Tim Cahill end his scoring drought in their draw with Blackburn Rovers.

The strike was followed by a particularly enthusiastic version of his trademark corner flag celebration, and it was a sight for sore eyes for Howard.

"We were glad to see that goal celebration again," the American custodian told evertonfc.com.

"It was exciting. He scored with a poacher's finish and we need to scramble more goals like that home, and do the ugly business.

"As professionals we know what our individual speciality is, and we put pressure on ourselves to do it well. It's important for all of us to do our jobs and feel like we're contributing. He contributes in a lot of other ways but to see him score was really good."
