Everton boss David Moyes hailed Kevin Mirallas after victory over Stoke City.
The match was decided by Mirallas' scintillating 70-yard run and finish in the first half and built on the morale-boosting win over champions Manchester City a fortnight ago.
"It was a great individual goal," said Moyes.
"Sometimes against Stoke that is what you need, an individual who can take on people and thankfully he did it from about 70 yards out."
