Apostolos Vellios has revealed he was taking tips from Duncan Ferguson ahead of him coming on and scoring the winner in Saturday's 2-0 win at Bolton. Former Toffees frontman Ferguson, who retired from playing in 2006, has been working at Finch Farm while he takes his coaching badges.

"On Friday I was training with Duncan Ferguson and this gave me more confidence," Vellios told Everton's official website.

"I know him and I know he's a big star. He's a big centre-forward and a legend and I know what I'm doing with him.

"He gave me confidence inside the box because on Friday we did a lot of work on that.

"He told me you have to be a centre-forward, you have to be the big one, you have to keep the ball and score.

"I've seen a lot of videos of him and I'm very happy to work with him."
