http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906 has made at Goodison Park since his arrival in January this year.
The Croatian International fired a brace on Saturday against Southampton, to help his team secure a comeback from behind 3-1 win.
It took his tally to 14 goals in 22 professional appearances for the Toffees, including 10 in his last 11 league matches.
The striker was signed by Merseyside club in January from Glasgow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 for a mediocre 5 million pounds transfer fee.
Since then, he has been one of the most influential forwards in the league, and played the pivotal role in their remarkable upsurge over the last 9 months.
Everton have secured a staggering 48 points out of 27 matches since the turn of the year. Only Manchester City and Manchester United boast better stats than them over this period.
Seeing the striker take the central stage soon after making a return from a knee injury, the Irish footballer hailed his massive presence in the team.
He opined that Jelavic was currently one of the best attackers in the Premier League, and he has been on the top of things right from the first day.
“He scored a lot of goals in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 and people may have wondered whether he could do it here but he’s come down and made it just as easy,” he told the reporters.
“He is a fantastic striker and if you give him half a chance he’ll score a goal. It is great he has been scoring regularly.”
The win on Saturday helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes’ men leapfrog Manchester United to the second place.
They now have 13 points from their 6 games, and are within 3 points of leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
With the international break approaching, Coleman revealed that his team’s next aim was to record a win against Wigan Athletic next Saturday.
He said that at the moment, they were not too interested in setting long term goals. Instead, they were going about the things one game at a time.
“The manager and a lot of experienced players have been telling us we’ve had a great start but we have to take it one game at a time,” he added.
