Jagielka hopes Toffees have turned corner

Phil Jagielka admits he has been baffled by Everton's woeful start to the season but believes the win at Birmingham can be the turning point. The England central defender helped David Moyes' side gain a first victory of the campaign at St Andrew's courtesy of an own goal from Roger Johnson and a Tim Cahill header. It moved the Toffees off the bottom of the Barclays Premier League after they had collected only three points from the opening six matches. Now Jagielka, who is set to be named in Fabio Capello's squad for the Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro, is looking for Everton to climb the table. The former Sheffield United player said: "The slow start we've had this season has been very baffling. Most people have seen us start quite slow before but I don't think we've started quite as slowly as this. "It was an uncomfortable position to be in and all the boys knew we had to turn the corner somewhere. Thankfully luck was on our side for the first (own) goal. Hopefully it will be a turning point."
