Kevin Mirallas' stunning solo goal illuminated an often drab and uninspiring 1-0 victory for Everton over Stoke at Goodison Park.
Speaking after the game, Everton boss David Moyes insisted his side remain outsiders to secure Champions League football next season. He said: "We are the big underdogs, we need results to go for us as well as us winning our games, but we are in there and it is a great thing to say Everton are in with a chance of the Champions League. "We deserve to be there because of how well we've played this season." Stoke counterpart Tony Pulis had no problems with the effort his side displayed, but admitted they need to be more clinical in front of goal. He said: "Our problem has been scoring goals. We haven't played many games where we haven't created chances and, again, we have created enough chances to score. "That's a bit of a worry, but the commitment and the football we played today and the attitude of the players was absolutely first class."
