Moyes wants distracted Everton to keep league focus

With a mouthwatering FA Cup semi-final looming against their Merseyside rivals Liverpool at Wembley, Everton boss David Moyes is battling to keep his troops focused on the league.

After shipping two sloppy goals at Carrow Road, and so failing to win their 100th away game in the Premier League, David Moyes admitted his players have been distracted when they should be focusing on their game at Sunderland today.

Croation international Nikica Jelavic took his tally since signing from Rangers for £5.5 million in January to five goals in eight games but Everton failed to hang on as Johnny Howson and then England hopeful Grant Holt pegged them back leaving Moyes’ ruing his side’s fallibility.
