Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall believes Everton supporters would have accepted the start to the season after the Blues came from behind to beat Coventry City 3-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday night.
The win over Frank Lampard's side was Everton's third in eight days and lifted them to joint fifth in the table. David Moyes' men also have a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie against Fleetwood Town next month.
Three wins in eight days
Dewsbury-Hall said: "I'm pretty sure if you asked every Evertonian at the start of the season, they'd have taken where we are right now."
"We've had three tough games this week, and we've won all three, so it doesn't get much better than that."
"It's a nice feeling. Now we can go into the break, rest and recharge the batteries, and get ready for the next period. We've got more tough games coming up but, look, we'll be ready."
Emotional reaction explained
Dewsbury-Hall scored his team's third goal against the Sky Blues, and the strike came just hours after he was once again snubbed by Thomas Tuchel in the latest England squad.
The midfielder, who was left disappointed by Tuchel's decision to leave him out for the games against Croatia and Spain, admitted that the emotion he showed after he scored was due to his latest Three Lions omission.
He said: "Yeah, it was just a bit of emotion from me. It was a bit of a sad start to the day [to miss out on the England squad] and I'm an emotional guy, so I will celebrate and speak as I feel."
"Honestly, the fans have been so good to me. I've had so many nice messages and words of support from them, so it's nice to produce moments like that and enjoy it with them."
"I'm really grateful for them. I've got a lot of people here backing me and fighting my corner, which makes me feel happy, so I can only thank everyone."
Dewsbury-Hall added: "I'm just going to keep my head down, keep working hard, control my controllables, and if [an England call-up] happens in future then it happens but I know I'll have given everything. I want to keep winning for this football club – that's all that matters."
