The newly appointed Toffees boss watched his side beat Millionarios in his first game in charge at the weekend, and praised several players post-match
Rafa Benitez said he was pleased with Everton's new signings after seeing Demarai Gray and Asmir Begovic star in a Florida Cup shootout win on Sunday.
Everton beat Colombian outfit Millionarios 10-9 on penalties after being held to a 1-1 draw in normal time in Benitez' first game in charge since replacing Carlo Ancelotti in the managerial hot seat.
The Toffees fell behind to a first-half Andres Llinas Montejo effort, but Gray came off the bench to net a 64th-minute equaliser before Begovic stepped up to be the hero in the shootout.
