Everton boss Frank Lampard admits he's delighted with midfield pair Alex Iwobi and Donny van de Beek.
Both were outstanding in victory over Leeds.
Lampard said of Iwobi today: "Alex alone performed like that, I just gave him the platform and opportunity. He's a quiet lad and a very talented player. He feels it [confidence] from me, and the rest is up to him. He put it in and felt like he could run for another 90 minutes."
Regarding on-loan Manchester United midfielder Van de Beek, he said: "I'm really impressed. On a professional level, absolutely impressed with his fitness and sharpness. He's a top level player, to have a tough time is not easy. He shows that if you keep your head down and working, there's always a way through it."
Lampard also had an assuring word for Nathan Patterson.
"Nathan is obviously a young player we have a lot of hopes for in the longer term. There's competition for a reason, Seamus (Coleman) has been brilliant since I came in. Nathan will get his chance."
