Everton boss Roberto Martinez on ITV: "We learned that when we have got that tempo in our play and when we use the character we have we are a very strong team. We started with the team edgy and with a bit of anxiety in our game.
"We scored a very good goal and had one cleared off the line. You could see the momentum carrying us through. We then kept Dynamo Kiev very, very quiet and in those situations you can be exposed.
"Overall it was a very good performance and the reaction shows we are a very good team. We are not favourites as the home team always has a little advantage. Now we are looking forward to the second leg as we travel well in Europe. It is a challenge we are looking forward to."

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on ITV: "I'm very happy with the team performance. The team reacted well after first half. We should have maybe scored three goals to be safe but they have top class players.
"It's up there with my best performances. Now we have to focus on the league as we are not doing too well.
"Everyone up front was scared to have the ball and we put the defenders and the midfielders in danger, but after 20 minutes we improved. Now we are into the last third of season and if we want to save the season we have to keep playing like this.
"We are favourites, but it will be difficult over there."

When you are ahead of teams like Shakhtar in the league, it shows what they have. It's a very, very strong unit that carries that winning mentality and it's going to be a big test."

What's gone wrong with English clubs in Europe? If Everton go on and win the Europa League will that be a decent return for the Premier League? Have top-flight clubs under-performed on the continental stage this stage and why?
The Toffees have won just once in 12 top-flight games yet they are playing like world-beaters on the Europa League stage, brushing aside Germany's second best team Wolfsburg and French club Lille among others.
Tonight they face a last-16 tie with Dynamo Kiev at Goodison Park. A victory is vital to take to Ukraine for next Thursday's second leg as Roberto Martinez's side look to forget their domestic troubles.
Euro trash
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
They're falling quicker than an England batsman at the Cricket World Cup. This time last month seven British clubs had ambitions of conquering Europe in the Champions League and the Europa League. Then Liverpool,Tottenham and Celtic fell through the trap door. Last night it was Chelsea's turn to succumb to continental opposition.
This time next week - unless Arsenal and Manchester City can overturn first-leg deficits - Everton will be the last British team in Europe. That's right, the club 14th in the Premier League table just six points above the relegation zone.
Euro Blues
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)

Their season has been branded 'unacceptable' by the manager. Their Premier League future is far from secure after a dreadful run of form. Yet this time next week Everton may well be on their own flying the flag for British football in Europe.
The hopes of a Premier League team appearing in a showcase European final could rest with the likes of Darron Gibson, Luke Garbutt and John Stones - not John Terry, Diego Costa or even Steven Gerrard.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Celtic have gone. Arsenal and Manchester City are on the brink. Hands up who thought Everton would be Britain's last club standing in Europe?

Everton 2-1 Dynamo Kiev
Everton boss Roberto Martinez on ITV: "We learned that when we have got that tempo in our play and when we use the character we have we are a very strong team. We started with the team edgy and with a bit of anxiety in our game.
"We scored a very good goal and had one cleared off the line. You could see the momentum carrying us through. We then kept Dynamo Kiev very, very quiet and in those situations you can be exposed.
"Overall it was a very good performance and the reaction shows we are a very good team. We are not favourites as the home team always has a little advantage. Now we are looking forward to the second leg as we travel well in Europe. It is a challenge we are looking forward to."
Player reaction

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on ITV: "I'm very happy with the team performance. The team reacted well after first half. We should have maybe scored three goals to be safe but they have top class players.
"It's up there with my best performances. Now we have to focus on the league as we are not doing too well.
"Everyone up front was scared to have the ball and we put the defenders and the midfielders in danger, but after 20 minutes we improved. Now we are into the last third of season and if we want to save the season we have to keep playing like this.
"We are favourites, but it will be difficult over there."

Better from Everton. Romelu Lukaku skims the bar with a free-kick but the referee gives a corner, thinking the keeper had made a finger-tip save. From the corner Phil Jagielka's goal-bound header is cleared off the line by Danilo Silva before Antolin Alcaraz has a shot deflected over.

A rare chance for Everton. The Kiev keeper charges way out of his goal to clear a looping ball into his half but makes a bit of a mess of it. Romelu Lukaku has the ball at his feet 35-yards out. He tries his luck...the ball flies narrowly wide.
Poor miss from a rare opening.

Dynamo Kiev look a threat each time they surge forward. Dieumerci Mbokani's powerful header looks as though it's heading for the net but Phil Jagielka makes a vital block.

"I think the last 16 teams left, the level is fantastic. There's huge quality in those sides. The big aspect of Dynamo Kiev is the winning mentality they have. When you are ahead of teams like Shakhtar in the league, it shows what they have. It's a very, very strong unit that carries that winning mentality and it's going to be a big test."

Fancy watching Everton for £1? It sounds a bargain but there is a catch. The match takes place in conflict-hit Ukraine.
The Toffees have been handed an initial allocation of 1,500 tickets for the second leg away to Dynamo Kiev on 19 March. Yet cheap tickets may still not be enough to lure Toffee fans following violence from Dynamo fans in their win against Guingamp in the previous round.
Kiev, have been ordered to partially close their stadium for the visit of Roberto Martinez's side after fans invaded the pitch and clashed with security staff. The Ukrainian Premier League club were also fined £51,000 after the crowd trouble caused the game to be briefly halted.

Everton will be hoping for a different outcome than the last time they reached the last 16 of Europe's second-tier competition. It all ended in tears in 2008 for David Moyes's men as they lost to Italian side Fiorentina on penalties.
Goals by Andrew Johnson and Mikel Arteta drew the tie level as Everton dominated the tie throughout. But Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey produced a string of brilliant saves to keep the Toffees at bay.
It might have been seven years ago but there are still plenty of players around Goodison Park who recall that dramatic night. Tim Howard, Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman all started while Tony Hibbert and Leighton Baines were on the bench.
Everton's season 'unacceptable'
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
He works for one of the most loyal boardrooms in English football, but Roberto Martinez accepts his position will be the subject of intense focus until results improve.
It is only two years ago since the Toffees boss experienced relegation and winning the FA Cup with Wigan.
"For us as a football club, the position we are in is unacceptable," adds Martinez. "At the end of the season, we need to look at why it has happened. But for the time being, we need to show a real desire to win. The team is performing in a manner that we should have got more points. But the reality is we have got 28 points. Now every game is a final."

Freddy Howardinho: Maybe the Martinez passing style works well against European teams but is relegation fodder in the Premier League?
Harry Clark: Not good enough. Man City can be forgiven, Barca are a force. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea should be doing SO much better.
What's gone wrong with English clubs in Europe? If Everton go on and win the Europa League will that be a decent return for the Premier League? Have top-flight clubs under-performed on the continental stage this stage and why?

Around Europe
German hosts Wolfsburg have capitalised on a mistake from Inter Milan goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo to take a 2-1 lead against the Italian visitors. Vierinha pounced on a miscued clearance before squaring the ball for former Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to tap home.
Meanwhile, Tom De Sutter has hit back for Club Brugge - diverting in Felipe Gedoz's low 25-yard shot - to cancel out Gokhan Tore's opener for Beskitas to make it 1-1 in Belgium.
Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk lead 1-0 against Dutch champions Ajax.
Story of the Blues
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
Steven Naismith says Everton's players have more than a place in the Europa League quarter-finals on their minds - they're also playing for their futures. With the club fighting to stay in the Premier League, forward Naismith says the team faces an uncertain future.
"This club is ambitious and wants to go forward and I'm sure the manager will look for a replacement to do the job he wants done if you're not doing it," said the Scotland international. "Without a doubt, people are playing for their futures. If you are not performing then you are not going to be here very long.
"The biggest motivation of all is personal pride. You don't want to be in a team that is struggling to perform every week."
Remember Rebrov?
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
Remember Sergei Rebrov?
The Dynamo Kiev boss is no stranger to these shores having turned out for both Tottenham and West Ham as a striker during his playing days. Now aged 40, Rebrov is in his first managerial job having taken charge of Kiev, the club he won nine league title with as a player, last May.
Asked if he still takes an interest in his former clubs, Rebrov said: 'Of course I am still following Tottenham, West Ham - all the teams I played for. I'm glad because I think Tottenham are getting better. Harry Kane is a very good forward, scoring not just lots but some very important goals.
'I'm also very pleased for my good friend Tim Sherwood (his former Tottenham team-mate), who is doing a good job as Aston Villa manager."
National pride
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)

No wonder Everton and Dynamo Kiev are both keen to restore some national pride this evening.

Jekyll and Hyde
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
The Toffees have won just once in 12 top-flight games yet they are playing like world-beaters on the Europa League stage, brushing aside Germany's second best team Wolfsburg and French club Lille among others.
Tonight they face a last-16 tie with Dynamo Kiev at Goodison Park. A victory is vital to take to Ukraine for next Thursday's second leg as Roberto Martinez's side look to forget their domestic troubles.
Euro trash
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
They're falling quicker than an England batsman at the Cricket World Cup. This time last month seven British clubs had ambitions of conquering Europe in the Champions League and the Europa League. Then Liverpool,Tottenham and Celtic fell through the trap door. Last night it was Chelsea's turn to succumb to continental opposition.
This time next week - unless Arsenal and Manchester City can overturn first-leg deficits - Everton will be the last British team in Europe. That's right, the club 14th in the Premier League table just six points above the relegation zone.
Euro Blues
Everton v Dynamo Kiev (20:05 GMT)
Their season has been branded 'unacceptable' by the manager. Their Premier League future is far from secure after a dreadful run of form. Yet this time next week Everton may well be on their own flying the flag for British football in Europe.
The hopes of a Premier League team appearing in a showcase European final could rest with the likes of Darron Gibson, Luke Garbutt and John Stones - not John Terry, Diego Costa or even Steven Gerrard.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Celtic have gone. Arsenal and Manchester City are on the brink. Hands up who thought Everton would be Britain's last club standing in Europe?
