Everton manager David Moyes is confident that young defender Seamus Coleman will not get carried away by the fine start to his Toffees career.

The 21-year-old right-back has made four appearances for Moyes' side this season, having moved to Merseyside just under a year ago from Sligo Rovers, and helped to set up both Everton goals in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Moyes told reporters: "He's a young boy we brought from Sligo, he's 21 but he's young in footballing terms.

"He's had one or two games which I'm sure will help him and shape him in the future. He's the complete opposite of that (getting carried away) - a very humble boy.

"I think you even noticed when he made the goal (for Louis Saha) the other week, the first thing he did was run back into his position, he didn't think about celebrating.

"He's enjoying where he is just now and maybe wondering what it's all about."
