A PROUD David Moyes paid tribute to his side following victory over Tottenham Hotspur – but insisted one win would not see Everton getting carried away.

A first goal of the season from Louis Saha and a second from Seamus Coleman helped Moyes’ outfit to a 2-1 win on an evening of high energy at Goodison Park.

Dutch play-maker Rafael Van der Vaart had levelled for the visitors but Coleman’s second half header sealed a first win in three matches and moved Everton up to 11th in the Premier League table – above Liverpool on goal difference.

Moyes believes the entire team are deserving of credit for the manner in which they matched the attacking flair of one of the country’s most in-form and dangerous sides.

But the return to the scoresheet of Saha and the buccaneering exploits of Coleman on the right flank drew the highest praise from a delighted manager.

“I was pleased with that,” said Moyes.

“It was a really good game and whoever plays Tottenham this season have to play well to beat them because they are a really good side.

“There was an edge to the players tonight, there was an improvement, vigour and determination. “We made sure we got more balls in the box than in other games. Previously I have been disappointed with the amount of balls we have got into the area. But tonight we were always liable to score.
