Everton boss David Moyes is excited about the potential of Irish fullback Seamus Coleman.

The young defender impressed the manager with his performance against AEK Athens on Wednesday and Moyes hopes he's laid to rest the ghosts of the Benfica game.

"I think a lot of people saw Seamus Coleman for the first time against Benfica and I hope people who watched him tonight can see he is a really good right back," Moyes told evertonfc.com. "He did a really good job for us in Greece.

"I am pleased for the boy because the first game he had was a real tough one."
