Everton defender Joseph Yobo has welcomed the arrival of Sylvain Distin from Portsmouth.

"He's a good player with good experience," Yobo told evertonTV. "It's not very difficult for us to speak to each other and to understand ourselves. I thought we did very well together in the first half, but the second half changed the game.

"This was only our second game together so hopefully we can build on that and keep doing better."
