Everton's Hibbert praises Jelavic, Fellaini

Everton defender Tony Hibbert has heaped praise on attacking players Nikica Jelavic and Marouane Fellaini following yesterday's 4-4 draw with Manchester United.

Croatian striker Jelavic scored twice for the Toffees and Belgian midfielder Fellaini chipped in with a brilliant volley as the Merseyside club came from 4-2 down to grab a point at Old Trafford and their performances did not go unnoticed by veteran full-back Hibbert.

"Niki has come in and done absolutely brilliantly for us," he said.

"If we put balls into the box, now both he and Marouane can get on the end of them, and they did."
