Sean Dyche is refusing to get carried away by the form of Abdoulaye Doucoure but has praised the attitude of the resurgent star.
The midfielder has been key to Everton’s improved form and scored his second goal under Dyche at Chelsea. He then picked up a second assist in consecutive games after laying the ball off for Ellis Simms’ late equaliser.
It is a remarkable upturn in Doucoure’s Everton career after he was frozen out under Frank Lampard but is now earning the trust of his new boss, who has hailed the 30-year-old’s “brilliant mentality”.
