Martinez pleased by Everton's triumph over 'winning' Dynamo Kyiv side

Roberto Martinez was over the moon after his Everton team secured another win in the Europa League.

?The Toffees came from behind to beat Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 in the Round of 16 first leg at Goodison Park on Thursday night and the Spanish boss suggested it was a fine performance against a side in very good domestic form.

?"I think we were ourselves at our very best. We controlled the game completely. It was wave after wave but you have to be very aware not to leave yourself exposed against a team like Dynamo," said Martinez.

?"They have got excellent individuals but we stopped them from being a threat.

?"You cannot underestimate a win in Europe and I thought the way we did it was fantastic. Our intensity in possession was very good and then to be able to win a game against a side with a winning mentality was very pleasing."??
