Everton boss David Moyes thought there were reasons to be cheerful even after watching his side throw away a two-goal lead before eventually drawing 2-2 with Newcastle United.

Moyes' side had lost their opening three Premier League matches at Goodison Park so the Toffees manager thought a point against Joe Kinnear's side was something to build on.

However, he was annoyed to concede two goals either side of half-time, admitting: "It changed my mood, it changed the crowd's mood and it changed the players' mood because we were all anxious in a game that we had been in total control of.

"We were cruising at 2-0 up and I was about to go into do a positive speech at half-time, but then we conceded. Not only that but we conceded another in the first minute of the second half

"During the break I told them how important the next goal was. We knew that they would be lifted by their late goal.

"But I thought overall it was better. There were signs that the players were going to get a bit of confidence back but obviously the end result has knocked us a bit.

"It was a good goal by Fellaini and I was pleased because I thought he had an influence in the first half. But we've got to remember that he's a 20-year-old boy who has come into a side that hasn't peaked in his performances so far.

"Hopefully we will start to get some form now. For a bit of the game today we were performing well, but in the end it wasn't enough to get the three points."
