Everton boss Martinez happy to overcome Southampton

Everton boss Roberto Martinez was delighted with their 1-0 win over Southampton.

Phil Jagielka struck the winner in the first-half.

"We stopped them from doing what they normally do. They found it hard to break us down," said Martinez.

"It was a really interesting game from a tactical point of view. They only had two shots on target which shows you how well we defended but Tim Howard was at his very best.

"As a team we defended very well because from then on Southampton never had a shot on target."
