Jack Rodwell celebrates _300[LNB]JACK RODWELL today relived his blistering European double and declared: 'It was the best moment of my career so far'.[LNB]Everton's gifted young midfielder lifted the gloom that has been hanging over the club in recent days with two stunning goals in the 4-0 drubbing of SK Sigma Olomouc.[LNB]Having become the youngest player to represent Everton in Europe when making his debut against AZ Alkmaar in December 2007, Rodwell created another piece of history last night.[LNB]Aside from effectively guaranteeing Everton a place in the Europa League group stages, Rodwell replaced David Johnson as Everton's youngest European scorer and cemented his burgeoning reputation.[LNB]But while he was thrilled with that landmark, Rodwell's thoughts were centred on the team and he admitted that beating Olomouc was the perfect way to banish the memory of the capitulation against Arsenal.[LNB]'It's brilliant to break records and be in the history books but the most important thing was getting the win,' said Rodwell, who was Everton's man of the match.[LNB]'Once the first goal went in, we all lifted our games and you could see the confidence coming through in our passing.
