Howard admits Everton have top four belief

Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard admits there's great belief inside the locker room of a top four finish.

Yesterday's win moved Everton within one point of fourth-placed Arsenal on the table.

Howard said: "We have to believe that (we'll finish top four) as we run out of games. We'd like to think we can."

The American was pleased with his side's performance and delighted to give the home support a great show against the Londoners.

He said: "That was certainly one of our signature performances since I've been here at Everton.

"The way we controlled the game, scored the goals and kept it clean at the back - I thought it was a brilliant performance.

"They were up for it. They know what it meant coming to the game and if we could take three points then we'd be hot on their (Arsenal's) tails.

"They've waited all season for a blockbuster performance like this and they'll feel like this was definitely the one."
