Everton boss Moyes hails Cup matchwinner Gosling

Everton boss Dave Moyes was delighted with his young players after their FA Cup victory over Liverpool last night.

And Moyes had special praise for teenage match-winner Dan Gosling, who struck the extra-time winner to win this Merseyside derby replay in the 118th minute after it appeared to be heading for penalties.

Moyes said: "I'm proud of them, but there is more to come. I enjoyed that one, but we move on now.

"I was delighted with the two youngsters, Gosling and (Jack) Rodwell, to come on in such an important cup tie and play as well as that.

"But it says, too, a lot about the other players. We have had so many injuries and we picked up more during the match, it meant we were looking around to see what we could change.

"So it was the young boys who had to come on and I did not have any worries putting the two lads on. They had the energy we needed, and it was not a worry for me to put them on.

"Gosling is a really good lad, he wants to learn and is a good trainer.

"He is a well-mannered boy who wants to improve and hopefully we can keep developing him.

"He can play in a few positions, and we paid £500,000 down with another £500,000 after a set number of games, that's all."
