Everton defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on penalties in the FA Cup and Toffees boss David Moyes wants his side to carry that form over into the Premier League. The Toffees host Sunderland at Goodison Park on Saturday just three points off the drop zone after what has been a disappointing season as far as their league performance is concerned.
"There was a great feeling in the dressing room and a great feeling on the train coming back after the game," he continued.
"We knew it was a big achievement to win at Chelsea. But we are not daft enough to think we didn't carry a bit of good fortune at the right time.
"Anybody who wins on penalty kicks knows it is unfortunate for the other side. It is a lottery but thankfully it went our way.
"I thought the players deserved it, they were brave enough in the game.
"There has been a good feeling in the place and we will hope to make that stick and continue.
"At the end of the day I've always said the Premier League is more important than the cup.
"I also think that game has gone - we can't do anything about the Chelsea game now.
"We can only do something against Sunderland now. Since Monday we have had our heads on getting ready for Sunderland and we have worked hard."
After the 2-0 defeat at Bolton Moyes described it as one of the worst performances since he took charge nearly 10 years ago.
"I take responsibility for the bad performances but I want them to take responsibility for the good ones because they are the ones who do it.
"Anybody who was at Chelsea - and there were a lot of Everton supporters there - will have seen the players were really at it.
"The players knew Bolton wasn't the level we play or the level we expected. The good thing was they recognised that and did something about it."
