Everton defender Seamus Coleman says the whole team has been lifted by the form of Nikica Jelavic.

With Everton second in the table, three points behind leaders Chelsea, Coleman admits the problem the players now have is coping with expectations. "It has been a good start and that is what we aimed for at the start of the season," he said. "If we can go into the international break with another win (at Wigan next week) that is what we are aiming for now - we are not setting any long-term targets. "We just want to win games and see by January where we are. "The manager and a lot of experienced players have been telling us we've had a great start but we have to take it one game at a time."
