// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} David Moyes was delighted with his patched up side after they came from behind to beat BATE Borisov in the Uefa Europa League.[LNB] The Toffees followed up their win over AEK Athens in the opening group game with another three points to put them in driving seat in Group I.[LNB]Moyes was especially pleased with Tony Hibbert after his inspired performance at centre-half.[LNB]With Joseph Yobo having to pull out late on with a thigh injury, meaning Everton were without nine first-teamers, Hibbert found himself asked to move to centre-half with midfielder Dan Gosling filling in at right-back.[LNB]The Toffees were not perturbed and won through second-half goals from Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill after Dmitry Likhtarovich has blasted BATE into a half-time lead.[LNB]"I thought Tony played really well, it was an outstanding performance by him and he slotted in as I hoped he would," Moyes said.[LNB]"It was a really pleasing result considering the number of players who were not available.[LNB]Resilient"It was a resilient performance, which in the end allowed us to get the victory. I thought we played better in the first half but we were wasteful with our passing.[LNB]"BATE scored an excellent goal but we regrouped and managed to get the goals we needed.[LNB]"Tim Cahill is always a threat in those kind of situations but he has probably not scored as many goals as he should have done recently."[LNB]Moyes revealed that he was looking to go far in the competition despite some managers treating the tournament as an unwanted distraction.[LNB]"It's always nice to win away in Europe and this was an important victory," he added.[LNB]"We were hoping to take points early in the campaign and we are now in a good position. We want to stay there and keep progressing in this competition."[LNB]
