David Moyes hailed Leighton Baines after his stunning free kick helped Everton to a 2-1 victory over Newcastle last night.
The Everton manager believes Baines is providing Chelsea star Ashley Cole with real competition for being the best left back in the country.
He said: “Ashley Cole is the best left-back in England and I have always thought Leighton Baines is behind him.
“But I said last week before we played Chelsea, I think the gap between the two of them is getting much closer.
“He is disappointed he has not scored three goals tonight, Bainesy.”
