Everton's Phil Jagielka: 'We'd swap European wins for Premier League victories'

Phil Jagielka admits that Everton would swap a couple of their Europa League wins for triumphs in the Premier League.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has insisted that he and his teammates would swap a few Europa League victories for triumphs in the Premier League.

Roberto Martinez's side have struggled in the top flight having secured just one win in their last nine fixtures.

However, in Europe, it's been a different story as they prepare for their first knockout match against Young Boys on Thursday.

"We would've swapped a couple of wins in Europe for some in the league but we've done well, performed well, scored good goals and defended pretty well in the main in the Europa League," Jagielka told the Liverpool Echo.

"We hope to continue that at Young Boys. It is going to be a really tough game especially with the conditions but it will be a nice distraction to have."

Everton are currently 12th in the league table.
