Everton boss Rafa Benitez says Lewis Dobbin deserves his first team chance.
In victory over Norwich City, Benitez gave a Premier League debut to 18-year-old Dobbin as he replaced Alex Iwobi.
And Benitez believes Dobbin's opportunity is not only good for him, but also the other players in the club's Academy, who can see a pathway to the first team.
“We are really pleased to see him [Dobbin] doing well in the training sessions," he said. “He is very bright and has the pace and ability.
“It is an opportunity for him and for the other [Academy and Under-23] players to see they can be there.
“Anthony Gordon is also playing, so I am really pleased to see these young lads and they have to take their opportunities."
