Everton striker Anichebe hails Barkley creativity

Everton striker Victor Anichebe credits his goal in victory at Sheffield United to the service provided by Ross Barkley.

Barkley, 17, has impressed in Everton's opening two games of the season.

The goal came from a driven Barkley cross and Anichebe enthused: "Ross is a dream to play with because he comes inside and looks for one-twos.

"Ross was a big help, he was always looking for me and Mikel (Arteta) was the same.

"It's always pleasing to score but it was more pleasing to complete 90 minutes. It's been a while since I've done that. Hopefully I can do that more and keep developing.

"Hopefully we can take this win into the weekend and kick start our season."
