The Blues are second in the Premier League after five games.

Everton's Seamus Coleman celebrates scoring their second goal

Everton star Seamus Coleman has insisted to the Daily Mail that they will not get carried away by their superb start to the season.

The Blues picked up their fourth straight win on Saturday afternoon as they beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at Goodison Park.

The result took them up to second in the table and means they have picked up 13 points from their first five games of the campaign.

It represents their best start to the season since 1978 and leaves fans discussing whether a push for the Champions League places or better could be on the cards.

It is still early in the campaign for such talk though, and Coleman has insisted they will not get carried away.

“We’re not looking to the end of the season and where we can finish,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I know it’s a boring answer but we’re just looking to the next game and go into the international break with two more wins.”

It remains to be seen just how well Everton do this year after this impressive start under Ronald Koeman.

The argument against them at this moment in time is that they have only beaten the teams that they would expect to beat and are yet to come up against the so-called bigger sides.

However, they did come up against Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day and were superb in that game also and that could be an indicator they are the real deal this season.
