Andy Johnson is enjoying his strike-partnership with Everton teammate Yakubu Aiyegbeni.
"I was just pleased to put it through to him, but he did all the hard work - he had to cut inside and put it in the back of the net. He's in fantastic form and he's a massive player for the team."
With a testing tie in Italy on the schedule this week, AJ reported that confidence amongst the squad was high.
"We are in great form," he said, "The confidence is up. But the main thing is that we go to training, recover, work hard during the week and prepare for the big game.
"They're a massive Italian team. It's going to be a tough game and a big test for us and it will show how far we have come."
