Landon Donovan postgame interview

Landon gives BBC Sport a post game interview on his debut vs Arsenal. He comments on the pace of the Prem vs MLS and gives a quick assessment on his play. Not a bad first day considering the opponent and it won't get any easier... Up next, Manchester City. BBC Sport also interviewed David Moyes on the match and praises Landon on his first game.

I'm So Excited!


So Landon is excited to play in the Premier League. Being given the #9 shirt has to put some pressure on him and the media in England will actually pay attention to him. So I hope his excitement doesn't cause him to freak out Jesse Spano style. I'm so scared!

More Donovan at Everton news


Landon Donovan was officially unveiled to the media today and what surprised me is that he received the number 9 shirt. Talk about expectations! Landon also revealed that David Beckham helped him in his decision to go on loan to Everton. Will Donovan fail or succeed? And what would be a successful loan spell? Let us know what you think.

Everton through to round 4 as Landon arrives.

Landon Donovan was in the stands to see his new side's win over Carlisle United (League One) in F.A. Cup round 3 action. James Vaughan was the first to put Everton in the lead after picking off an embarrassing back pass from Adam Clayton in just 12 minutes from the start of the whistle. If David Moyes' side thought this was a taste of things to come they were sadly mistaken. The Cumbrians proved to be a worthy adversary and Kevan Hurst was the man to prove that. In just 6 minutes after Vaughan's goal, Hurst put away Adam Clayton's long range bomb that Tim Howard could only parry in the path of Hurst, which he put away from a yard out. As the game wore on Everton grew increasingly frustrated until Tim Cahill put the Toffees ahead in the 82nd minute. Leighton Baines added the insurance goal with a 90th minute penalty that made sure Carlisle's dream of advancing was laid to rest, and gave the blue side of Liverpool a sigh of relief. No word yet if Donovan will feature in the match against Arsenal on January 9th.
