"He's playing, he's doing good, he's scoring goals. He's a really good player.

"I think if Ekitike stays at this level and continues to score goals when he has the chance to play, then it's going to be difficult for the manager to choose, but that's football, that's the beauty of football," the former France international added.

Ekitike's second yellow card came for taking off his shirt after he celebrated netting the winner, and the forward was absent for the league loss at Crystal Palace as a consequence.
