David Moyes has issued a challenge to striker Ayegbeni Yakubu to become the first Everton striker to score 20 league goals in a season since Garry Lineker did way back in 1986.
Moyes: ''If he could get 20 league goals for us, that would be absolutely tremendous, Yak has played a big part for us and I think we all realise now that he is not just a goalscorer but he is a very good footballer, with great intelligence and seems to be improving week by week.

“His all-round play is of a high standard and he is an important member of the squad. Remember that he had been away for a month before he came back into the starting line-up and we hope the good form he has been showing continues.
“He is always looking to improve his tally, which every good forward should do, and hopefully he will get a few more for us. We were really pleased with him against Man City and we want him to continue like that.”
