They wore pink but it was not pretty, they did not have much of the ball but Sean Dyche did not care.
This is the type of result that will keep Everton in the Premier League, this is the type of performance that will keep Everton in the Premier League. Gutsy, obviously - with a Dyche team, that normally goes without saying - but there was also a threat on the break that has not been there on so many occasions over these past couple of dismal seasons.
This is an Everton team that, in the main, is responding to Dyche, responding to his calls for commitment, for passion, for a never-give-up attitude. And all those things were encapsulated in the way Ellis Simms forced the late goal that gave Everton such a precious point.
