Seamus Coleman: 'Consecutive wins have given us our belief back'

Everton defender Seamus Coleman has revealed that back-to-back wins have given the squad some much-needed belief ahead of their Europa League trip to Dynamo Kiev on Thursday.

Roberto Martinez's men have been out of sorts for a number of months but beat the Ukrainian side 2-1 last week before a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday.

Speaking to reporters in Kiev, the Irishman said: "We have had two good results back to back - we kept going and doing the right things. Now we are looking forward to tomorrow.

"It has been brilliant for the squad. Keeping a clean sheet was important on Sunday as well."

Meanwhile, Belgium winger Kevin Mirallas has been ruled out of the game through injury.
