The 4-1 victory over Fulham at Goodison Park on Friday night sent them into fifth spot - and defender Lescott believes a UEFA Cup spot is now there for the taking.

Lescott said: "We feel Europe is in our sights. The pressure is now on the clubs around us who are playing 24 hours later, we must see who slips up and then hope to capitalise on Monday when we go to Bolton."

He added: "It's all about focusing. We have a target now right to the end of the season and it is up to us to keep this form going."

Fulham boss Chris Coleman saw his side dragged closer to the relegation drop zone, but he remained confident the west Londoners will escape.

He said: "We need that next three points, we have gone seven now without a win and the longer it goes the more difficult it will become.

"But I cannot ask for any more from the lads. They are giving everything, going for every ball and nobody is hiding.

"The fans who travelled up with us could see that, they supported the side throughout and never stopped encouraging. That pleases me, and if we can keep that sort of support going, we'll be okay.

"I will make sure the team keep giving everything in response to the way the fans are backing us."
