Everton boss Martinez: We can't replace Stones after today

Everton boss Roberto Martinez was delighted with victory over Chelsea.

Steven Naismith scored a hat-trick as Chelsea crashed to a 3-1 loss at Goodison Park, a result which left them with just four points from their first five Barclays Premier League games.

The standout performance was by Naismith but recent Chelsea target John Stones was also highly impressive in the back line and manager Roberto Martinez paid tribute to both.

He said: "It would have been all too easy for Naisy not to be ready and not to be happy to not be in starting XI, but he gave us a real example of focus, concentration and the real standard of this dressing room.

"Sometimes you play against the champions and you can beat them, but you look at lucky breaks - but for 90 minutes we restricted Chelsea to two shots on target.

"Clearly John showed we couldn't replace a player like John Stones at that stage. He has been heavily tested but we never had a doubt in the way he would perform and he never let the team down.

"He always trained and performed well and today he showed he is going to be a future England captain.

"We know we can play better but what you are looking at is a complete performance."
