Everton boss Martinez: Mirallas row treated internally

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says last week's spotkick row involving Kevin Mirallas has been settled.

Mirallas missed his penalty against West Bromwich Albion after snatching the ball away from Leighton Baines. He was then substituted at halftime of the draw.

Martinez said: "Obviously it is something that has been addressed internally and is water under the bridge.

"The only problem we had was that Kevin missed the penalty. That is the end of the matter internally.

"Sometimes you feel in a great moment and you want to take a penalty.

"It is not a negative having players that want to have the responsibility and show they can help the team in specific moments.

"The issue here is that he missed the penalty - nothing else."
