Everton No2 Round hails Anichebe impact in Man City win

Everton No2 Steve Round heaped praise on Victor Anichebe over his role in victory over Manchester City.

Round, who was delighted with Anichebe's efforts, believes a tactical switch at half time proved crucial in rattling their wealthy visitors.

"It was purely tactical at half time to bring another forward on, and we felt that we needed a bit of drive down the right hand side so we moved Victor to that outside right," Round told evertontv.

"I thought Victor was outstanding and I would argue he was Man of the Match.

"He was aggressive, he took the fight to them, he won his headers and he worked back and made great defensive tackles. When he plays like that he really is a good player."
