Roberto Martinez: Win 'most satisfying' of the season

Everton manager Roberto Martinez describes his side's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday as the "most satisfying" of the season.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has described his side's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday as the "most satisfying" of the season.

Kevin Mirallas's late free kick gave the Toffees all three points after Steven Naismith had cancelled out Leandro Bacuna's first-half strike.

Martinez told reporters: "It was a great fightback and, for me, the most satisfying victory of the season.

"We were cagey in the first half but once we adjusted we controlled the game. It was a moment of brilliance from Kevin.

"I couldn't be more proud of that second-half display. We went out and enjoyed our football after half time."

Next up for Everton is a trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
