US coach Bob Bradley was delighted with Landon Donovan's Premiership debut for Everton on the weekend.
Bradley admits he watched the game - a 2-2 draw at Arsenal - and wasn't surprised by LA Galaxy captain Donovan's performance.
He told the 100 Percent Soccer blog: "It's great that he started. I think that in today's game he showed that technically he's got abilities.
"He's a player who has shown, whether it's in Confederations Cup or other big tournaments in the past, other World Cups, he's technically very good, able to make plays, he sees things very well, his movement is good. Now adjusting week in and week out to the Premiership is a good challenge for him and today was a good first step.
"This experience is excellent. He had a little time off. The opportunity now to keep himself going, be in a good environment, play in Premiership games, those are all great things for him and will ultimately help our team.
