The versatile defensive midfielder was over the moon with helping his side to a 4-1 victory yesterday.

The questions above all others for Martinez, fans, and everybody who loves and follows Everton during the last week was the status of John Stones.

With contests against AS Roma and Real Madrid in store, the squad was expecting hard fixtures during their pre-season tour. Just three minutes into the contest, Raheem Sterling beat the offside trap and raced in on goal.

Sterling scored within three minutes of his first appearance for City on Tuesday night in Melbourne but had already been booed by that stage as he fell over the ball following his first touch of the game.
