DINIYAR BILYALETDINOV admits Everton must come racing out of the blocks at Goodison on Saturday following their false start to the season.

The opening-day defeat at Blackburn Rovers last weekend has done much to temper enthusiasm among fans after an impressive end to the previous term was followed by an encouraging pre-season.

David Moyes’s side will look to bounce back when they open their home campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And Bilyaletdinov acknowledges the importance of a victory against opposition whom he scored his first-ever Everton goal.

“I am looking forward to the game because it is the start of our season at Goodison Park,” said the Russian winger. “We lost the last game at Blackburn so it is very important we get three points.

“We have big plans for this season and we want to go back to the top of the table. This year we need to not lose at home and get more wins away. We need to start by beating Wolves.”

Bilyaletdinov’s late strike in the corresponding game last season, which ensured a 1-1 draw for Everton, was the first of seven goals the 25-year-old has netted since arriving from Lokomotiv Moscow almost a year ago.
