EVERTON boss David Moyes saw his side move off the bottom of the Barclays Premier League - but believes their performances this season have merited a greater reward.[LNB]The Toffees registered their first league win of the campaign via a 2-0 success at Birmingham through a Roger Johnson own goal and a late header from Tim Cahill.[LNB]It brought an end to City's 13-month unbeaten home record spanning 18 matches.[LNB]Moyes said: 'Birmingham have a great home record and for us to end it after more than 12 months was really great from our point of view.[LNB] 'We've now taken four points from away matches at Fulham and Birmingham, two teams I would expect to finish in the top half of the table.[LNB]'We played really well, especially in the first half and how we went in 0-0, I don't know, but I've been saying that all season.[LNB]'People who have watched us said our performances have not merited where we are in the league.[LNB]'The players needed to see the way we were playing was going to get them rewards points-wise - and we got it today.[LNB]'Maybe we had a bit of good fortune with the first goal which was deflected but I've been saying maybe we needed something like that.[LNB]'We passed the ball well, were fluid and tried to play good football.[LNB]'But I am not jumping about because we've won again because I expect us to go on and win a lot of matches.'
