Marco Silva, Everton Manager, said his side's improved form is down to confidence following their impressive victory over Arsenal at Goodison Park.
Phil Jagielka, who was called into the starting XI as a replacement for Michael Keane shortly before kick-off, poked home the only goal of the game following Dominic Calvert-Lewin's header from Lucas Digne's early long throw.

Silva told BBC Sport: "I'm really, really happy. We deserved the three points."
"The chances we created, we should score more goals. It is a fantastic win and one more clean sheet. That's the spirit I like - the desire to win every challenge.

"[Earlier in the season] we lost some confidence, we had a break and after we worked really well. It's the same team with more confidence."
