Sam Allardyce has hailed the burgeoning partnership between Theo Walcott and the returning Seamus Coleman after the duo played starring roles in Everton's 2-1 win over Leicester City at Goodison Park.
Walcott was making just his second start for the Toffees after joining from Arsenal earlier this month and hit a brace to inspire his new side to a first win in seven Premier League games.
Coleman returned to the starting XI for the first time since March after breaking his leg on international duty with the Republic of Ireland and slotted in seamlessly behind Walcott.

"A new partnership is born, Theo Walcott and Seamus Coleman down the right, that combination was really good," he told BBC Sport.
"He [Walcott] has got something to prove and this is a big transfer at this time of his career. He has started to pay us back immediately.
"It was like having a new player [Coleman], he is the example of a perfect professional and someone for every youngster at Everton to look up to.
"He has been out for months and plays like that, imagine what he will be like when he is match fit – it's scary."
