Everton boss Roberto Martinez delighted with Dynamo Kiev victory

Everton boss Roberto Martinez believes that his side's performance in their victory over Dynamo Kiev shows that they are back to their best form.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes that his side were back to their best in their Europa League victory over Dynamo Kiev.

The Toffees came from behind to gain a 2-1 win from the first leg of the last-16 clash at Goodison Park on Thursday evening.

The Merseysiders currently sit 14th in the Premier League following an inconsistent domestic season, but Martinez hopes that the performance against Dynamo will reignite their campaign.

"I think it has to be a turning point for us," he told Sky Sports News. "The second half was an outstanding performance.

"I think we were ourselves at our very best. We controlled the game completely. It was wave after wave but you have to be very aware not to leave yourself exposed against a team like Dynamo. They have got excellent individuals but we stopped them from being a threat.

"You cannot underestimate a win in Europe and I thought the way we did it was fantastic. Our intensity in possession was very good and then to be able to win a game against a side with a winning mentality was very pleasing."

Everton return to league action on Sunday when they host Newcastle United.
