Everton midfielder Barkley: Goals are bonus for me

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley was happy to score in their victory over Swansea City.

The goal was Barkley's fifth of the season and capped a fine performance from the England international.

He told evertontv: "It was good to get on the scoresheet but to get the win was the main thing.

"I haven't scored for a while, so it was good to get back on the scoresheet. My last header was for the reserves last year - I haven't scored one for a while.

"If I keep scoring then that's a bonus. The main thing is to help the team out. If other players score and we win, then I'll take that, but scoring is a bonus for me."
