Arouna Kone: "It would be a dream to score" in Merseyside derby

Kone: "It would be a dream to score"

Everton striker Arouna Kone has admitted that he would be a "dream" to score in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.

The 31-year-old has notched two goals for the club in eight appearances this season, including their 3-2 comeback win over West Bromwich Albion on Monday.

Kone was booked for his celebration for revealing a message on his undershirt, and he has admitted that he would not be tempted to go overboard if he found the net at Goodison Park.

"It would be a dream to score in a derby," Kone told Sky Sports News. "It's a really important game for the club and important for the fans.

"But certainly If I do score it will be a different type of celebration. I suppose you can almost grant me that celebration as a one off it would be ridiculous to get booked for the same thing three or four times a season. So, yeah, it's a one off, not to be repeated."
