'We're Starting To Click'

Steven Pienaar believes Everton are peaking at the right time.

There were plenty of positives to take from Everton's 3-3 draw with Aston Villa, particularly from an attacking perspective.

And following the 4-0 win over Wigan the week before, the Toffees have now scored seven goals in their last two games.

With an FA Cup semi-final next up and an ongoing battle for European places underway, it could be a timely fillip.

Pienaar was at the heart of plenty of his side's positive forward play at Villa Park and capped a fine performance with a splendid goal.

He told evertonTV: "We took confidence from the last game and we knew we had to play our own game.

"We are definitely clicking. The way we have been playing is good, the spirit is high and we are looking forward to the next game."

The South African's second half strike, his first of the season, was particularly easy on the eye.

"I have been practicing a lot over the last few weeks and getting in good positions but the shots have been going just wide," he said.

"The build-up to the goal was good and that makes it even more beautiful.
