Everton may be struggling badly in the English Premier League, but U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard made sure to help keep the Toffees Europa League success going.

Howard made nine saves to help lead Everton to a 1-0 victory against AEK Athens in Greece on Wednesday. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov scored early for Everton and Howard made the lead stand up, making nine saves in a match dominated by AEK.

The victory helped Everton qualify for the Europa League Round of 32 after securing second place in its group with the win.

What do you think of Everton's win? Glad to see Howard post a shutout victory after so many recent bad losses by Everton?

  1. Its bil ya let de nof. It may be long, but its really pretty easy once you get used to it. A lot better than Meshcherianov, I always have trouble with the shch (yes, in Russian that’s one letter).

  2. It was a horrible, horrible field. Everton had to use all of its subs relatively early because of injuries. The first was in the 10th minute when Baxter went in for Gosling. Geez.
    But wahoo! finally! a win!

  3. i can’t help but wonder if it would’ve been better for Everton to lose, they are way too close to relegation right now and could be facing a relegation battle, these games are just tiring them out, but we’ll hope for the best

  4. wow. i didn’t get to watch the game and I have only seen Everton play a few times but Judging by their results this season I am wrong to say that Everton’s back line needs some changes? Sounds like Timmy is getting shelled this year with shots

  5. That is a good win for a team that needs some confidence. Hopefully the good Europa form can translate to the league. Hopefully fulham can qualify for the next round as well.
