Barkley has matured - Martinez

The Everton boss has praised the 21-year-old for his change in attitude on the back of the England international's stirring start to the new season
Everton manager Roberto Martinez praised Ross Barkley for accepting responsibility and having the attitude to turn his team's fortunes around.

The Merseysiders endured a disappointing 2014-15 Premier League campaign, finishing 11th, but they have eight points from five games so far this season, having taken reigning champions Chelsea apart last time out.

Barkley has already matched his goals tally (two) of last league season and bettered his assists (three, compared to two).

Martinez said the 21-year-old's attitude deserved praise as the England international aimed for improvement, rather than blaming others.

"Football is a team sport and last season was a disappointment for us in the league," the Spaniard said ahead of his team's trip to Swansea City on Saturday.
