Jordan Pickford reiterated that Everton have to improve next season after surviving relegation from the Premier League for the second straight year.
The battle to beat the drop went to the final day of the campaign as Leeds United, Leicester City and the Blues were all looking to maintain their top-flight status for the 2023-24 season.
Abdoulaye Doucoure's second-half strike was enough to keep Everton afloat as Sean Dyche achieved what he set out to do when he was installed as Frank Lampard's successor in January. But it needed a superb late save from Pickford to ensures the Blues edged out Bournemouth 1-0.
