"I think it was a moment where we need to win something," said the coach David Moyes, whose team finished fifth in the Premiership and is posited as an alternative to the dominance of the big four United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
"I do not say it now, but will come," insisted the coach of Everton, which is seeking its first title since winning the Cup in 1995.
