Conor Coady reveals Everton training ground plan behind equaliser at Southampton

Conor Coady has detailed the training ground set-piece work that contributed to his first Everton goal in the 2-1 win at Southampton.

The 29-year-old opened his Toffees account at St Mary's on Saturday, tapping home from close-range after Amadou Onana's knocked-down header from a deep free-kick. Coady's equaliser came three minutes after Joe Aribo opened the scoring for the home side and just two minutes before Dwight McNeil smashed home for the eventual winner.

Seeing his finish allowed to stand will bring welcome relief for Coady, with the on-loan centre-back seeing a dream goal in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool chalked off for offside not long ago. That disallowed goal - much like the equaliser against the Saints- came from the second phase of a set-play, and Coady has since revealed that is something they've been working hard on behind the scenes.
