		</div><p>Everton manager Marco Silva has no doubts forward Ademola Lookman has a big part to play in the club’s future.</p>
<p>Lookman scored for the first time in 394 days as he set the Toffees on the way to a 2-1 FA Cup win over League Two leaders Lincoln.</p>
<p>However, after a bright start in which he created three chances, scoring one, in the opening 20 minutes the 21-year-old faded and his fortunes were replicated by the team, who laboured to victory after Michael Bostwick pulled a goal back after Bernard’s first for the club had put the hosts 2-0 up.</p>
<p>Lookman spent the second half of last season on loan at RB Leipzig after failing to find a way into then manager Sam Allardyce’s squad.</p>
<p>The Bundesliga side made a concerted effort to sign him permanently but Everton rejected their advances and that stance now looks to be paying off.</p>
<p><em>“He did well. When Lookman got injured he was in a good moment and doing very well,”</em> said Silva of the player’s struggles earlier this season.</p>
<p><em>“Now he is coming back. He is a different player than the other wingers. The goal was important to him.</em></p>
<p><em>“One of the things we spoke about was that Lookman and Bernard have to score more.</em></p>
<p><em>“I told him some things I want in his game: to define moments when we have to put speed in our attack. He can see many things in our attack other players cannot see.</em></p>
<p><em>“I am sure he will improve more and more. He is an important player for us and he will be more important in the future and I never had any doubts about that from the first day I started working with him.”</em></p>
<p>Silva refused to discuss whether goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was suffering a confidence problem after looking hesitant for the free-kick which led to Lincoln’s goal.</p>
<p>The England number one has kept just one clean sheet in eight matches since his high-profile error in the Merseyside derby.</p>
<p><em>“It is something we can work with him. It is something we will analyze,”</em> added the Toffees boss.</p>
<p><em>“I don’t like to talk about individual things. When we didn’t achieve the last good results it is normal the players don’t have this high confidence.”</em></p>
<p>Defeat ended Lincoln’s chance of repeating their history-making run to the quarter-finals of two years ago.</p>
<p>However, manager Danny Cowley believes his current squad are more talented than the 2017 edition.</p>
<p><em>“I don’t think you like to compare groups because I don’t want to do the previous group a disservice. The were a special group in themselves,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“This group are more talented with the ball, we have some better ball-handlers, and probably more balance and a different dimension to our play.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have really good characters and really good people. Whenever we try to assemble a group it is always about people before players.”</em></p>
