Moyes jubilant after Everton win over Chelsea

David Moyes was in a jubilant mood as Everton came from behind to defeat Chelsea at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.

The Toffees boss was full of praise for his team as well as striker Louis Saha, who produced a stellar performance in scoring two goals against Blues skipper John Terry, and said the win was just reward for the way they had played in recent times.

"Louis played really against him at Stamford Bridge and tonight I thought he did it again," Moyes said.

"I think John Terry was worried when the long ball dropped over the top and Louis took it on his chest.

"But John Terry is a top centre-half and if they don't want him I'll have him!

"It's a terrific result and it just says the way we have been playing in the recent weeks and months.

"To not have [Marouane] Fellaini and [Steven] Pienaar, who over the months have done really well for us, shows the players who have come in have done really well.

"To go a goal behind and come back, I don't know how many teams do that against Chelsea.

"We had to hang in because for 20 minutes Chelsea were fantastic."
