Everton boss David Moyes has heaped praise on his defenders after the narrow defeat to Arsenal at the weekend.
The 1-0 defeat still leaves Everton with some work to do in the final match of the season against Newcastle to ensure they qualify for the Uefa Cup, but Moyes was still happy with the way the side defended.
"I thought Tony Hibbert was outstanding, as was Joseph Yobo and Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott.
"We play Hibbo in the games that matter because he is a good defender and he doesn't let you down. He is honest in his work and he is a really good player."
