With a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup already secured, Moyes' mind drifted back to the mid-80s when Everton - under manager Howard Kendall - were a dominant force at home and abroad.

He said: "If you ask what my motivation is, it is to try and develop the club. We want to get back to the stage it was many, many years ago. That's the aim."

He added: "This was an important result for us given that Manchester City are right in there for European football.

"It was as good as we have performed on an away ground and an excellent victory."

Moyes believes the UEFA Cup is a help and not a hindrance.

"The players are getting better and European football has helped us," he said. "There is a belief we can get good results - and I certainly believe in the players.

"We played well against City and defended superbly. We kept our discipline and made it hard for them to break us down."
