Coleman: 'I've been learning from Baines'

Everton defender Seamus Coleman has revealed that he has been learning from his teammate Leighton Baines.

Coleman has scored five goals from the right-back position this term and the Republic of Ireland international said that he has been taking advice from the England left-back.

Coleman told the Daily Mail: "Bainesy has been fantastic and plenty of times he has been there to advise on what runs to make and so on and I have picked up a lot from him.

"A lot of it is down to confidence and maybe taking on things and having a shot and not be afraid of getting a rollicking from the older lads.

"I have kind of gone past that stage. Not that I don't care but I feel comfortable."

Everton moved back into the top four of the Premier League with a 2-0 win against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.
