Salomon Rondon shares message on Twitter after Everton v Leicester
Salomon Rondon has shared a strong message on Twitter after Everton managed a 1-1 draw versus Leicester on Wednesday at Goodison Park.
The Toffees striker came off the bench and impressed with a cameo role, playing a part in the build-up to the late equaliser.
The 32-year-old has been sparingly used by Frank Lampard, but he has always delivered whenever he was called upon.
The Venezuela striker wrote on Twitter: “Never give up!”
Big difference
In the second half, Lampard made some positive changes by bringing Dele Alli and Rondon, and both made a big impact.
Rondon has been a much-maligned figure since he joined the Merseyside club on a free transfer this summer. He made a positive impact on the game with his hold up play and decision making.
Liverpool Echo has described him as a useful “nuisance” after his introduction.
He won headers from long balls and in the 65th minute had set up Richarlison to have a shot on target, the first of the game from the Toffees.
Most noticeable was his hold up plays. He won several battles in the air, and this rough edge to the game actually gave the Toffees the belief to find an equaliser.
His dummy in the build-up to Richarlison’s crucial goal could prove to be a big moment for the club this season. He was also close to finding Alli with a flick-on at the near post.
In other Everton news, this “outstanding” striker has admitted he’s open to a loan exit as he looks for crunch talks with his agent.
