Bilyaletdinov amazed by Everton atmosphere

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov admits he's been amazed by the atmosphere Everton fans generate at Goodison Park.

The Russian international believes that without the unique atmosphere the Goodison crowd create, Everton could have lost the game against Wolves on Saturday.

Instead, his late equaliser - his first goal for Everton - saved a point for the Toffees.

"It's my dream - and it's my job on the pitch," he told evertonTV. "I like the emotions in the stadium, people are crying, people are smiling. It energises you and on Saturday without the crowd, perhaps we wouldn't have scored.

"Thank you to the fans for their noise."
