Joseph Yobo has credited new defensive signing Sylvain Distin for Everton's form turnaround.

"(Sylvain Distin) is a quality player," he told evertonfc.com, "and someone who has a lot of experience. He's settling down now after joining and we played against each other so had knowledge of each other's game.

"We're happy the way things are going (regarding the clean sheets) and just want to continue that."
