Moyes delight as Blues share goal burden

EVERTON boss David Moyes has praised his side for sharing the goals around better than any other side in the Premiership's top six.
Marcus Bent and Leon Osman are the club's joint top scorers with three goals each.
But the key to the Blues' climb to third in the Premiership has been the goals from elsewhere in the team.
Kevin Kilbane (left) became the eighth different player from the 17 used this season to score for the club in all competitions.

That is an average which betters Arsenal, Chelsea, Bolton, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Moyes said: "It is important to share the goals around the team.
"You want your strikers to be getting the goals, but if you are sharing them around the side that will do fine.
"It is good for all the players to feel good about scoring goals and feel as if they are capable of scoring goals."
Moyes admitted before last weekend's visit to Norwich his prime concern was the number of chances his side had been missing.
The 3-2 victory over Norwich was the first time since August that Everton had scored more than once in a league game.
The result maintained the four-point cushion over fourth placed Bolton.
And Moyes is determined to stay there.
