Everton boss David Moyes was proud of his players after their victory at Manchester City.

The Blues completed the double over Roberto Mancini's men with a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Eastlands courtesy of a deft 33rd minute header from Tim Cahill and a late strike from Mikel Arteta.

Moyes told evertonTV: "It was great tonight. The players did really well and deserved the victory for the way they went about it.

"There were a few scary moments but overall we had good parts of the game and played very well. We have won a really important game. Throughout the whole team we had people who performed really well.

"We have said to the players that if we want to do anything at all we need to show it against the big teams. Our football at the moment is terrific and the second goal especially was a great goal."
