Hard work the key for Everton victory
Everton boss David Moyes has credited perseverance and team spirit for his side's shock defeat of Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Toffees travelled to Stamford Bridge for their fourth-round replay in the midst of a disappointing run in the Premier League, including a 2-0 loss at Bolton Wanderers last weekend that Moyes described as one of the worst performances he had witnessed.
But one week later the manager was singing Everton's praises after they upended the reigning Cup champions 4-3 on penalties, following an extra-time period that saw Leighton Baines cancel out Frank Lampard's goal in the 119th minute.
"Our work-rate was questioned last week and I said the players here normally respond, and they certainly responded today," Moyes told ESPN.
