Everton boss David Moyes was pleased with Darron Gibson's debut for their draw at Aston Villa.

The former Manchester United midfielder produced a tidy performance in the centre of the park, before being substituted late on in what was only his second league appearance of the season.

"I thought Gibson played well," said Moyes after the 1-1 draw at Villa Park. "I thought he passed the ball well. Hopefully he'll help us and give us something we've lacked a little bit. He gave us a bit of composure at times and passed it nicely.

"He'll benefit from some regular games; you can see he just ran out of steam midway through the second half."

Moyes added: "The boys that have come from Manchester United tend to do quite well for us.

"Anyone who saw the game would think he did a decent job for us. I think nine or 10 Premier League clubs would like to have signed Darron Gibson."
