Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\nAfter Seamus Coleman opened the scoring in the first half, Louis Saha doubled the lead shortly after the restart and Jagielka was pleased to see his side hold on after Climp Dempsey\u2019s goal signalled a Fulham riposte.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came out in the second half with a perfect start, obviously with Louis\u2019 goal but unfortunately we couldn\u2019t keep the 2-0 lead for long and we like to do things the hard way, but thankfully we\u2019ve got the three points,\u201d Jagielka told ESPN<\/em>.<\/p>\nThe defender almost got himself on the scoresheet after watching his late header cleared off the line by Carlos Salcido and with Fabio Capello watching in the stands, Jagielka insists he felt no extra pressure to perform with Italian about to name his squad for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI probably should have scored anyway but I\u2019m not bothered now anyway we won 2-1 so everybody\u2019s happy,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I didn’t feel pressure – I think he\u2019s got a pretty good idea what his squad will be.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously when you know he\u2019s there you try and put in a half decent performance and hopefully I did that and we\u2019ll obviously just have to wait until Sunday and see what the squad is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coleman who opened the scoring for the Toffees with a powerful header gave an impressive display and the defender admits he was pleased his recent performances have been rewarded with a goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had a few chances in the last couple of games at the back post and the keepers pulled out a couple of saves but I was lucky enough today that it went in in the end and thank god we won,” he stated.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old believes he is improving with regular Premier League football.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to think so,” he said. “I\u2019d like to think I\u2019ve come on lots since the start of the season but I\u2019ve still got a lot to learn and playing with these players every week can always help.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing into the international break we definitely needed to get the win and hopefully from here we can kick on with the last couple of games and get more wins.\u201d<\/p>\n
