Bilyaletdinov eager to improve Everton scoring record

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is eager to improve his scoring record for Everton.

Everton have never lost when Billy has been on the scoresheet. And ensuring the Blues go on another impressive points-gathering run following the disappointment of Saturday's defeat to champions-elect Manchester United is now his focus.

He told evertontv: "When I played in Russia I scored maybe five or six goals like these (the goals from distance against Portsmouth, Manchester United and Wolves), so it wasn't so regular.

"Maybe I got one every two years, but the most important thing is scoring - not whether they are good or bad goals. If I score I prefer it to be with three points as well - that is the most important thing.

"The first half of the season wasn't good because we got a lot of draws. Sometimes we were unlucky, other times it was our fault. We are disappointed about that but now we are looking forward to the last few games and who knows - something good could still happen."
