Since David Moyes returned to Everton, the Toffees’ form has been nothing short of superb.

Their 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday took their tally under the Scotsman to 13 points in six matches.

During this period, only Arsenal have equalled same same number, and Everton have also gained three more points than their Merseyside rivals and league leaders Liverpool.

Prior to Moyes’ return, the Toffees picked up just three league wins in 19 Premier League matches.

After Saturday, they now have four victories under Moyes.

Beto and James Tarkowski both indicated after the match that the team is playing better football under the Scot, while the 61-year-old said: “To come back to Everton was something I hoped would happen and I didn’t expect it to happen.

“It is great to be accepted again and the fans have been brilliant.

“I think they are starting to believe a bit more in us and the team. Everton has had a difficult period and I certainly think there is light at the end of the tunnel now with the new owners coming in.”
