Win sets Blues up for a big week

Now nine games unbeaten, David Moyes hopes his side can keep their fine run going as Everton enter a vital week for their season, with a derby meeting with Liverpool in the Premier League on Tuesday and an FA Cup quarter-final with Sunderland next weekend.

Moyes is looking forward to the week ahead: "It's a hard week for us but it's the sort of games I want to be involved in."

Moyes added on ESPN: "I have always hoped when I came here that we would be able to challenge with the big teams. We were a bit lucky but we got three points."

Moyes also praised Jelavic whose chances at Everton have been hampered by injury and the international break since he moved to the club from Rangers. He said: "I thought he played well and took his chance really well."

Meanwhile, Redknapp moaned: "How did we lose it? In the second half we never came out of their half. We just couldn't get a goal. They couldn't get the ball off us. We penned them in and we just couldn't get the break. It was just one of those days in the end."
