Everton boss David Moyes praised match-winner Victor Anichebe, who put a four-month injury nightmare behind him to score the late winner in a 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.
"He is someone we have missed because we can play him in several roles and he is someone who has got a lot of potential if we get the opportunity to unwrap it.
"He is a good all-round forward player, he can play wide, he can play through the middle and has a lot of real good attributes which are important in the Premier League.
"He has missed a lot of football. At times he lacks a bit of self-confidence but the goal today and the reaction of the supporters will help him."
Moyes admitted he would have been content with a point from a game of few chances.
He said: "The game overall was a draw. I didn't think there were many chances for either of the teams.
"We tried to make it difficult for West Brom like they make it difficult for teams.
"It was a bit of a stalemate at times. I don't think you'll buy the DVD of the game!
"But at the end of the day, this has been a hard place for us. We've not won here for a while and the victory gives us a chance to look forward.
"You need to grind out results and over the years at Everton we've needed to do that at times." The Scot said: "It was a serious injury. Victor has had no games. I've not even had him playing in reserve games. Then he had an ankle injury when he came back in training.
