WATCH: Everton 2-1 Bournemouth

Former outcast Oumar Niasse was transformed into the comeback king with his first two Premier League goals for Everton as they came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1.

Twelve months ago the Senegal international was without a squad number, banished from the first-team dressing room and playing for the under-23s after manager Ronald Koeman decided on the basis of a 45-minute pre-season friendly appearance he was not up to the task.

But with Everton's failure to sign an adequate for Romelu Lukaku in the summer Koeman was forced to eat humble pie and recall the striker, a £13.5m signing by Roberto Martinez in February 2016.

A deadline-day move to Crystal Palace collapsed in the final hour in August as Koeman realised he could not sign the striker he wanted and Niasse's rehabilitation began - although even the Dutchman could not have envisaged how quick an impact his previously unwanted striker would make.

After scoring in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Sunderland, Niasse came off the bench on Saturday to score twice in the final 13 minutes and turn around a game heading the visitors' way after Josh King's goal early in the second half.

It capped a remarkable turn in the fortunes of the 27-year-old, who last season was told to find a new club and trained with the u23s without complaint before going to Hull on loan where he scored five times in 19 appearances.
