Everton captain Phil Neville admits their UEFA Cup elimination by Fiorentina shook them up.

But the midfielder says they're now returning to top form and told evertonTV: "I think you could see the energy coming back (on Sunday). Osman, Pienaar, Fernandes, Arteta in the second half all played with energy. Yakubu looked like he was getting back to his best and AJ always gives you that energy anyway. There was energy from our front players, which we have not had in the last month.

"In terms of the Fiorentina result it was the manner we got beat. If Fiorentina had come here and beat us two or three nil, we could have accepted that but to go out on penalties when we were by far the best team so it probably hit us harder than we thought."
