Everton boss Moyes never comfortable during Hull thrashing

Mikel Arteta struck twice as Everton thrashed Hull City 5-1.

The Spaniard found the net either side of a sublime Tom Cairney equaliser to spare the blushes of profligate striker Ayegbeni Yakubu in the first half at Goodison Park.

But the Toffees then upped a gear to secure a convincing victory with a Richard Garcia own goal and further efforts from substitutes Landon Donovan and Jack Rodwell.

Everton boss David Moyes admitted that he was still a little unsettled until the game was out of sight in the second half.

"It was a terrific performance," the Goodison boss said. "Some of our football was excellent at times and we were very worthy of the scoreline today, I felt. I thought overall we made several chances which could have resulted in more goals.

"But even when it was 2-1, I was still worried - when we got the third one I was still worried. We had lost a goal when it looked like we probably wouldn't - it came from a set-piece where the boy [Cairney] volleyed it home.

"It was only when we got the fourth that I started to feel a little more confident.

"I was a little concerned and we had missed a penalty as well and when they got back to 1-1, I thought our players slightly lost their way.

"I thought to myself that this is going to be one of those days that we rue but, in the end, the players did a good job and got all of the points."

Great performance by Everton, they might find themselves fighting for 6th place if they keep on performing as they are.
