Everton defender Phil Jagielka has called on his teammates to start climbing the Premier League table following their 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Jagielka, Romelu Lukaku and Seamus Coleman were all on the scoresheet at Goodison Park as the Toffees earned their first victory in the league in more than a month.

Following their disappointing start to the campaign, England international Jagielka now hopes that the Merseysiders can enjoy a strong run of form heading into the New Year.

"We scored some good goals today. Hopefully confidence will come back and we can climb the table," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We hope this will start our season. We know it was going to be difficult, perhaps not as hard as it was. Now we look forward to Europe and a tough game at Burnley next week."

Everton continue their Europa League campaign on Thursday when they travel to France to face Lille.
