Everton striker Denis Stracqualursi believes he has overcome his early-season struggles and an extended run in the team has boosted his confidence.
The Argentinian arrived on loan from Tigres in August and admits he took time to settle in and adjust to life and football in England.
However, he has started the Toffees' last five matches and has repaid manager David Moyes with three goals, all of which have been in victories.
"When I first got here, it was difficult to adapt to the different style of football," said Stracqualursi, who was on target in the weekend's 2-0 FA Cup victory over Blackpool which put his side into the quarter-finals.
"But now I'm getting games and getting time, I'm scoring goals and that's the main thing for a forward.
"I'm very happy with the goal. It's very important for forwards to score goals for confidence. The main thing, though, is that we won.
"It's a team effort."
