After victory over Manchester United, Everton boss David Moyes paid tribute to Landon Donovan's performance. Moyes revealed that Donovan played after a flu scare in the morning.

"I told him most of the players in England play with flu four or five times a year," said Moyes.

"If you are from Los Angeles you probably don't know what flu is!"

The American, on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy, delivered another impressive display but Moyes again said there were no plans to extend his loan beyond the end of March.

Donovan is due to rejoin his parent club for the start of the Major League Soccer season.

"I think Landon would like to stay but at the moment it probably looks as if not," Moyes said.

"I wouldn't want to have any disrespect to his club or the contract he has over there."
