Everton :Yakubu Aiyegbeni In Sparking Form

Super Eagles’ striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni scored twice and helped set up a third as Everton ran out 3-1 winners over his former club Portsmouth, to leave Harry Redknapp, the man who signed him from Maccabi Haifa sulking at those who sold him from Pompey.
"Yakubu played very well, but that is why I brought him to this country, he's an excellent striker," Redknapp declared after seeing the Yak notch up goals 17 and 18 of the season and his sixth in four games.
"But I didn't sell him. That was done by people after I had left the club.
"When I came back to Portsmouth he was gone and I had been left with some strikers who were not fit to clean his boots."
The result moved Everton back into fourth place, three points clear of Merseyside rivals Liverpool and sent Pompey spinning nine points adrift of the Champions League place.
Meanwhile, Everton has defended Tim Cahill after his controversial goal celebration in their 3-1 win over Portsmouth.
Cahill scored the Toffees' second goal and dedicated it to his brother Sean, who was jailed for six years in January for grievous bodily harm with intent.
The Australian midfielder crossed his wrists as if he had been handcuffed.
But Everton spokesman Ian Ross said that although some people would not "be in favour" of the celebration, it was ultimately a personal decision. "Goal celebrations are a personal matter and up to the player to decide," said Ross.
"No-one dictates what the player can do as long as he stays within the laws of the game and as long as it doesn't result in a caution.
"He is a very articulate young man and will have weighed up the pros and cons and decided to do it because it was a personal and emotional matter.
"I am sure Tim was fully aware that some people would not be in favour of what he did before he did it."
The FA refused to comment on the incident but did say that decisions regarding celebrations rest with the match officials, unless it is deemed that an abusive gesture has been made.
The attack on 11 July 2004 in Bromley, Kent left the victim partially blinded after CCTV controllers spotted Cahill's older brother kicking his victim in the head twice as he lay on the floor.
Police found the victim semi-conscious and bleeding heavily and speaking in January, Detective Constable Will Hope described the attack as "brutal and terrifying".
Meanwhile, Cahill has struggled for form since the turn of the year and his goal against Portsmouth was his first since the end of December and has admitted that it has been an emotional time for him and his family.
