Steve
Bruce beamed at Sone Aluko’s return to form after an impressive cameo
helped Hull City snatch a 1-1 Premier League draw at Everton.
Aluko came off the bench early in the
second half and soon after left Sylvain Distin chasing shadows in the
penalty area before finishing past Tim Howard.
The Nigeria international’s superb
individual effort cancelled out Romelu Lukaku’s first-half goal, which
had put a rampant Everton deservedly ahead.
While knocking the wind out of the hosts,
Aluko’s effort spurred Hull on and they could even have grabbed a
winner in the second half.
Bruce said on the club’s website: “It’s
been a frustrating time for Sone, but now he’s 100 per cent fit – which
has always been the big issue.
“He had a horrible Achilles injury which left him out for a year.
“In my experience it takes another
eight-10-12 months to get back playing, especially when you rely on
twisting and turning like Sone.
“It’s good to see him reproduce the form
from when, for me, he was easily the best player in the Championship
when we got promoted.”
