Everton's Bilyaletdinov gets no satisfaction from goal

Everton midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov took no satisfaction from his goal in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Bilyaletdinov gave Everton the lead during his side's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, but his afternoon was spoiled by a sending off late in the game for a high tackle on Stiliyan Petrov.

"I can't feel satisfaction for the goal," he said.

"First, because we didn't win, and second because I was sent off. It's a shame that I will miss the match at Old Trafford against Manchester United on November 21. In general, I'm upset. 'What can I say?'

"I very nearly got the ball, but hurt the opponents leg. But there was no malice. My leg wasn't fully outstretched, I didn't intend to go into him.

"The referee saw it differently. The boss told me I was unlucky."
