Kevin Mirallas says he is enjoying life at Everton more under Roberto Martinez than former manager David Moyes.

Everton beat Hull City 2-1 on Saturday and Mirallas is keen to keep the first goal despite Gareth Barry wanting to claim it after appearing to get the slightest of touches despite being in an offside position. "I shot and for me it's my goal. Gareth maybe touched it a little bit but I've seen the results on the television and it's my name and my goal," he added. "But it doesn't matter if the goal is Gareth's or mine - there is not a problem." Mirallas felt it was important to beat Hull after losing to Manchester City before the international break and has ambitions to break into the top four this season. "I am happy because this was an important game for us," he added. "The ambition for the club this season is to reach the Champions League. "It is a long campaign and it can be difficult to finish in the top four, but maybe it is possible for us to do it."
