Mark Hughes praises Victor Moses performance

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has hailed the performance of goalscorer Victor Moses in his side's 2-0 victory over Everton at the Britannia Stadium.

Moses scored the Potters' first goal of the Premier League clash as he caused problems for Roberto Martinez's men all evening, while Mame Biram Diouf netted their second to seal the three points for their third win in a row.

Hughes told BBC Sport: "We were very good. But it was typical performance of not allowing anything to sway us from what we want to achieve this season.

"It's a fantastic header from Victor Moses and then we are in a position to soak up pressure and hit on the break. It was arguably Moses's best performance for Stoke City.

"It's a fantastic period at the moment, 42 points and we are eighth. We're very happy but we still have work to do. People were talking about Europe at the press conference but we have never talked about Europe this year, it was all about achieving a points total that was greater than last year. I'm not sure Europe is achievable but we will have a go."

Stoke moved up into eighth place in the Premier League as a result of their victory.
