Round welcomes Everton selection headache

Everton notched their first win of the season as they eased past League One Huddersfield 5-1 in the Carling Cup last night.

Jermaine Beckford claimed his first goal for the Toffees in a convincing performance at Goodison Park while returning midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Jack Rodwell were also on target. Louis Saha and Leon Osman wrapped up the scoring after Huddersfield had defender Lee Peltier sent off.

Assistant manager Steve Round said: "He's (manager David Moyes) got selection dilemmas everywhere with the quality of squad we have put together. There's not only Jack but Seamus (Coleman) and Fellaini. Up front you've got Jermaine Beckford, who's now looking a real threat, and Louis Saha, who can win a game on his own at any stage."

He added: "It was nice to get our first win but the team believe they will win regularly. That is the expectation within the squad.

"It is a matter of taking this sort of performance, in terms of goalscoring, into the next game at Aston Villa on Sunday.

"It was a good result, I think the manager stressed the importance of getting off to winning ways.

"We have played well enough in the other games to get wins and the big message was continue playing like they were playing and wins would follow.

"They went out and played the same and this time got the goals, so we're very pleased."
