Baines relieved by clean sheet

Everton defender Leighton Baines admitted a clean sheet was almost as important as their first home Barclays Premier League win of the season after a catalogue of defensive errors left the players scratching their heads.

The England left-back provided assists for the first and last goals, scored by Phil Jagielka and Seamus Coleman, in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa as the Toffees recorded only their second shut-out in 11 matches across all competitions.
