Everton boss Rafa Benitez says Lewis Dobbin deserved his Premier League debut in victory over Norwich City.

With minutes to go in the match, Benitez gave a Premier League debut to 18-year-old striker Dobbin as he replaced Alex Iwobi.

Benitez remarked: "I am happy to see Anthony Gordon around, because he's a young player, but also Dobbin.

"He's someone that, when he's training with us, he shows the desire and commitment. These players have to be seen.

"Sometimes you have a player in a training session and you don't appreciate anything, maybe he has nothing sometimes or maybe he doesn't have the desire.

"Dobbin is someone that you notice he's there when he's training."
