The versatile Dutchman put in another good display in a defensive midfield role and, speaking after the match in London, he said the major emotion he was feeling was one of relief.
Heitinga told the Liverpool Echo: “The most important thing today was we won the game. At 2-0 we were playing very well but after that they scored a goal and became very dangerous - in the last 25 minutes the only thing we did was defend.
“It is a relief to have got the win. In the last few games we have not played too badly but we have not won and it is good for the team and good for our team spirit that we have won today.
“Before the game the manager just said we have to win and told me I would have to keep control in the midfield. I can play in different positions, in midfield or in the centre of defence."
The 25 year old also stated that the international break would do the Everton squad good, and that it would allow the players to freshen up in preperation for the upcoming ties against Manchester United, Hull City and Liverpool.
“A lot of the team are going to play for their national sides and so it is good we got the points," he continued.
“I'm off with Holland for two matches, away in Italy and home against Paraguay.
“I think the break is good because you go away, you have won the last game and when we come back we will be ready for two tough games against Manchester United away and Liverpool at home.
“I think my time in England is going well so far. I try to do well every day and perform. It is up to the fans and the people to judge me, but every day I give 100%.”...discuss this on the forums
