Anichebe is Everton hero

Anichebe came on in the 75th minute and earned a penalty seven minutes later which was calmly converted by Arteta.

The 19-year-old sub then ended a strong run with the right finish from close range in the 88th minute to give the Toffees their second win in as many group stage matches.

The visitors almost grabbed a dream start as they hit the post after just 20 seconds - Arteta forced Jaromir Blazek into a spectacular one-handed save from 18 yards out and the rebound landed to the feet of Tim Cahill, whose close-range effort was deflected against the left post.

After Marek Mintal and Dominik Reinhardt misfired from long range, Everton launched another promising attack. Leon Osman was put in the clear inside the right penalty area and delivered a superb pass to the middle - only for the ball to just evade Cahill, sliding in at the far post.

Peer Kluge almost gave the Germans in the lead when he rammed a powerful shot inches wide from 20 yards out.

Nurnberg's defence continued to look shaky at times and they were exposed again in the 37th minute when Arteta and Cahill worked a tidy one-two combination with the 25-year-old Spaniard hitting the wrong side of the post with a shot which hit his team-mate's chest.

Three minutes into the second half, Mintal was denied by Howard, before Yakubu won a free-kick some 30 yards in front of the Nurnberg goal - but Arteta's deflected shot went narrowly over.

With 15 minutes to go, Moyes took off Yakubu and brought on Anichebe - a move which was to prove crucial - less than eight minutes later he had been brought down in the box by Glauber and Arteta held his nerve to calmly beat Blazek with a shot to the top left corner.

Anichebe then crowned a spectacular cameo performance in the 88th minute when he stormed into the box from the right wing, evaded a challenge and beat Blazek with a low shot from a tight angle.
