Watch: Naismith slips, but manages to finish vs. former club Everton

There was a feeling of inevitability as Norwich City's Steven Naismith steamed into space behind Everton's defence in Tuesday's League Cup bout - once again, a player returning to haunt his former club.
The Scottish forward then slipped as he swung his left peg to shoot, but admirably still managed to aim a lob over Maarten Stekelenburg and into the net while on his backside.
Sections of the home support at Goodison Park sportingly gave their old hero a round of applause for his efforts.
