Everton boss Dave Moyes says Aston Villa are capable of gatecrashing the top four after their 3-2 defeat.

He said: "Villa have the players and the financial backing to be likely contenders for a place in the top four.

"But it's hard to explain how disappointing that defeat was, we felt we had got an equaliser.

"I cannot fault my lads. From the second minute to the 93rd we were excellent.

"We did everything we could. We had a couple off the line and hit the bar. I have been looking for a good performances and that was what we got, only the result was wrong."
