Everton's senior players were delighted for Ross Barkley after his goalscoring performance at Norwich City.
Barkley shone in the 2-2 draw.
"We are delighted he has scored his first goal," Leon Osman told evertontv. "We are all well aware of his ability. He thoroughly deserved it.
"He stood out but he has been threatening to play like that for two or three seasons now. He has matured over the past two or three months or so and if he can continue to perform like that then he'll go a long way."
