Moyes: Saha so good

Everton boss David Moyes believes FA Cup goal hero Louis Saha is on the brink of a major impact on his side’s charge to Wembley and their bid to finish in the top six in the Premier League.

Saha has been struggling with a hamstring problem, and his second-half appearance as substitute against Middlesbrough in yesterday’s quarter-final was only his second since November.

Everton were behind to a David Wheater goal until Saha’s introduction in the second period changed the course of the match.

In a six-minute spell, Marouane Fellaini had equalised and Saha had headed the eventual winner.

Now the 30-year-old is set to face his former club Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley over the weekend of April 18/19.

Moyes revealed: “I did not expect Louis to last that long. I felt he was only ready for about 30 minutes, but he played the whole second half and was excellent.

“When we can use him from the start in matches it will boost our chances on both fronts, the cup and the league.”
