Jake O'Brien has expressed his gratitude to David Moyes after the new Everton manager transformed the Corkman’s season from “frustration” to elation in the space of a week.

Whereas the £16m recruit from Lyon was on the periphery under Sean Dyche all season, failing to start a Premier League match, the Scot’s trust in selecting O’Brien at right-back for the last two matches has helped record wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton and Hove Albion.
