"I think [it's] one of the better results we've had since I've come into the job because of how depleted we are, said Moyes to BBC Sport. We didn't have enough senior players on the bench to make too many changes. We defended well and took our moments when we got them. We didn't play particularly well against Burnley, but today we did."
"He was fantastic tonight, he really was, said Moyes. Coming back to his old club, I thought he played really well... but he has for a while. He's playing so well for us and he's taken on a bit more responsibility, a bit more of the leadership, so he's really matured."
Everton won 2-0 at Nottingham Forest with goals from James Garner and Thierno Barry, lifting the club to eighth in the Premier League. The squad faced numerous absences including Jarrad Branthwaite, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carlos Alcaraz and Michael Keane, leaving few senior players available on the bench. Manager David Moyes hailed the result as one of the better outcomes since his return, noting improved performance compared with the recent draw at Burnley. Moyes praised Garner's leadership and form, welcomed Jack Grealish's bench return, and emphasised the need for key players to come back to sustain progress.
