Two seasons ago, Arouna Kone scored in his first Premier League start at Wigan Athletic.

On Sunday, the 31-year-old, who received his first league start since arriving at Everton in the summer of 2013, did the exact same thing.

Taking on Newcastle at St. James' Park, Kone required only five minutes to give Everton an early lead, slotting a cross from right-back Seamus Coleman past Jak Alnwick with ease.

Arouna Kone!

Having missed the majority of last season due to a knee injury, it's been a while since Kone found the back of the net.
