Everton boss Moyes hails Pienaar influence on consecutive wins

Everton boss David Moyes is delighted with two wins from their first two games of the new campaign.

Moyes points to the return to Goodison Park of midfielder Steven Pienaar from Tottenham as a crucial factor.

He said: "Getting Steven back was massive with the way he had played for us at the end of last season when on loan.

"He was the key to a lot of the things we did, the players enjoyed playing with him.

"It would be difficult to single any of them out after the way we play against Villa when we had some outstanding performances.

"But his general play was excellent throughout the game. Some of his work was really, really good."
