Everton's two goal Oumar Niasse: I always believed. I kept fighting

Everton's two goal Oumar Niasse insists he never doubted his ability after his heroic performance in victory over Bournemouth.

Niasse was transformed into the comeback king with his first two Premier League goals for Everton as they came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1.

“It is a great moment for me at Everton," he said. “I have been waiting for that moment for a long time.

“I always believed I would have moments like that here. I have kept fighting. Every time there was a difficult time for me, I always tried to do my best.

“I didn't sign for another team – I signed for Everton. So even if I didn't have the chance at the beginning, now the coach has given it to me and I have to take it with both hands. I am thankful for that, but I know I have to keep going, keep working hard."
