Everton striker Kevin Mirallas believes that the Toffees' impressive start to the season vindicates his decision to join them.

The Belgian international rejected a move to Arsenal in favour of Everton, and made his debut in Saturday's 3-1 over Aston Villa.

Everton also beat Manchester United last week, winning their opening two league games for the first time since 2007.

"It is great to come into a side that is in form," Mirallas told the Liverpool Echo.

"The team is playing very good football at the moment, and that reinforces the decision I made to come here.

"I knew I was coming to a great club, and the fact that we are playing so well at the moment is great."

The £5.3m signing from Olympiakos had a goal disallowed during his 20-minute cameo on Saturday and is expected to make his first start for the club, against Leyton Orient in the League Cup, tomorrow.
