Everton boss David Moyes hailed injury-plagued James Vaughan's goalscoring return to the side as the Toffees hauled themselves away from the relegation dogfight.[LNB]Birmingham-born Vaughan has fought his way back into the frame after seeing more than two years of his career ruined by serious injuries.[LNB]And on only his third substitute appearance of the season yesterday, Vaughan put Everton ahead within seconds of coming on to set up a 2-0 home win over Burnley.[LNB]Everton grabbed a second in injury time through Steven Pienaar to leave Burnley still searching for their first away league win of the season.[LNB]Moyes said: 'I am really pleased for James. He has had a terrible time with injuries for more than two years now.[LNB]'This time he has come back without even a reserve run-out. He has missed so much of his development, we are just trying to nurse him through to get him back to what he was like as an outstanding teenager.'[LNB]Vaughan has suffered serious knee and shoulder injuries and had not scored since a UEFA Cup tie in December 2007 against AZ Alkmaar. His last league goal was against Chelsea in May the same year.
