Money is Priceless

Well, that's what they used to say, after Everton's 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday there shone a glimmer of hope for teams that don't have a rich oil baron throwing cash at them. It showed that you don't need money to be successful (although it helps), but the right manager, tactics and attitude can have more effect than any amount of money. Even team spirit can make a difference, if you have players that know each other, play well together, you are going to perform much better than a team of  multi-millionaires who have just met, that is of course why Fernando Torres can't buy a goal at the moment.

With a combined price tag of £170 million, Man City should have walked over an Everton team who's starting XI contained 4 academy graduates and who's price accumulated to less than what Joleon Lescott cost.

Leon Osman got the winning goal, he is probably one of the most underrated players in England at the moment and he has completely run the show for Everton in the past month or two. For one of the smallest players on the pitch, his diminutive figure rose above the towering figure of the City defender and brilliantly headed past Hart. But this wasn't just luck, Everton had beaten City in the 5 games previous to this match



This result will give belief to all the teams who think they can't compete with the bigger teams, it shows that if you apply yourself and put in the effort then you can always beat the favourites.
