Leighton Baines spurred on by Leon Osman fantasy football snub

Leighton Baines admits he was spurred on to score in Everton's 3-2 win at West Ham after team-mate Leon Osman said he had dropped the defender from his fantasy football team.

Baines scored two sublime free-kicks in the Toffees win at Upton Park and says he told Osman he would score "a couple" for dropping him.

The England man was also full of praise for Everton new boy Romelu Lukaku who grabbed the winner on his Toffees debut.
