Everton boss David Moyes admits he was delighted with their gritty win at AEK Athens this week.

Moyes has questioned the commitment of his players this season as they've struggled to get themselves out of the bottom half of the table.

But the manager's faith was restored by the Europa League win and said: "The conditions out there were just like the old days. I would have enjoyed it out there.

"We had to lift the spirits after what was a good performance, despite the result, in the derby.

"This showed there is a heartbeat in this football club. I feel as if there is blood pumping through the veins again. It was tough but it can be the start of something more for us."
