Anichebe celebrates with Fellaini at Swansea
Everton manager David Moyes has showered praise on his Nigeria forward Victor Anichebe, describing his display at Swansea as “exceptional”.
Anichebe, who came off bench last weekend to help Everton recorded a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United, scored the opening goal as they ended Swansea’s unbeaten home record courtesy of a 3-0 bashing of the Swans on Saturday.
“We’ve been telling Victor Anichebe for years he is capable, he needs to have a little bit more self-confidence and self-belief. He is getting some goals and if he starts believing in himself, he will score more, he could have maybe had two or three today,” Moyes told BBC Sport.
“He is doing a good job, he’s a good player and if he concentrates, he’s got a good future.”
Moyes said he is delighted the big Nigeria striker has always delivered when called upon.
“What you need when players do go out are players to step in and do the job and Victor Anichebe stepped in and if you keep playing like that then you’re a threat in every game,” the Everton manager remarked.
“The supporters will soon get behind him if his performances continue to be like that.”
