Everton boss Sean Dyche was delighted for Jack Harrison after victory over Bournemouth.
Harrison scored his first goal for the club in the 3-0 win.
"Jack has been carrying a bit of a niggly hamstring," explained Dyche. "It was a worrying one, should he play, should he not? But he said clearly, 'No, I want to play'.
"I thought he was excellent. He ran freely during the game, we managed to get him off as well."
Dych continued: "His finish is sublime. I know he can bring quality to us, but he brings a feel, too.
"That effervescent that can rub off on others, I was pleased for him."
