Everton boss Moyes delighted with matchwinner Anichebe

Everton boss David Moyes was delighted with matchwinner Victor Anichebe after victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Anichebe marked his return by coming off the substitutes' bench to net an 87th-minute decider against Roy Hodgson's side.

Everton manager Moyes said: "It was a serious injury. Victor has had no games. I've not even had him playing in reserve games. Then he had an ankle injury when he came back in training.

"He is someone we have missed because we can play him in several roles and he is someone who has got a lot of potential if we get the opportunity to unwrap it.

"He is a good all-round forward player, he can play wide, he can play through the middle and has a lot of real good attributes which are important in the Premier League.

"He has missed a lot of football. At times he lacks a bit of self-confidence but the goal today and the reaction of the supporters will help him."
