Marouane Fellaini said Everton's win over Sunderland was down to David Moyes' tactical switch - rather than his own performance.Fellaini was moved to a deeper midfield position by his manager during the second half as the Blues trailed Sunderland 1-0 .
After the switch, the influential Belgian star promptly scored the equaliser before setting up the winner for Nikica Jelavic just two minutes later.
Fellaini told evertontv: "The manager changed the tactics and when he did I scored and got the assist, so it was good for the team."We started well but after 25 minutes we weren't playing as well and weren't creating enough chances. Sunderland started to play well.
"But the team kept going and in the end we got the win."
The goal which levelled the scores was Fellaini's third in two games but the 24-year-old preferred to look at the bigger picture, emphasising the value of winning without turning in exemplary performances.
"It is good for me but the most important is the three points," he added. "Today wasn't a fantastic game for us but sometimes it is important to win like this."

Fellaini is gone at the end of the season though unless they make the top 4. He's too hot of a commodity.
Enrique been given man of the match.

I can't remember the last game I watched that had less than 4 minutes of injury time, what's going on.
Four minutes? from where?
All three, surely...Should've been Mikel, Torres or Allen.
I still like him deeper. Everton doesn't need the longball option against teams that will let them dominate possession.
Probably. If there's any year they could do it though, it's this one.
20 mins and I'm buying me some Levi's, no one score please

What was Sahin's role Arnie? It should be either him or Allen right?That's a good point, to be honest. Still feel we could've won.
Good tactical change Brendan. Suso had more of an impact than Sahin.
