The Colombian, who reportedly joined on a free transfer, performed heroically for his new team, scoring twice and setting up his side's second goal.

He provided an assist for Yerry Mina then scored Everton's third and fourth goal during a stunning individual showing.

Rodriguez made it 3-1 in the 52nd minute after stroking home with his trusted left foot.

He bagged another goal 18 minutes later after tapping in from close range.

Needless to say, Rodriguez's performance was the talk of Everton's fourth straight league win.

The 29-year-old now has three league goals to his name following his transfer from Real Madrid.
