Sean Dyche has cautioned against complacency in the wake of Everton's thumping win at high-flying Brighton which heaped more pressure on relegation rivals Leeds United. Everton stunned European hopefuls Brighton on Bank Holiday Monday, winning 5-1 at the Amex Stadium to register only their second away win of the season to climb out of the Premier League's bottom three.
With fellow-relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest also winning, that meant Leeds and Leicester City slipped into the relegation zone with Sam Allardyce's side now sitting next-to-bottom with three games remaining. But while that win on the South Coast was a major fillip for Everton fans in what has been a catastrophic season, Dyche knows the fight against the drop is far from over with only a two-point cushion between his team and the bottom three.
"When I walked in here the thing that hit me instantly was a big result, big everything; tough result, low everything. That needed to change in-house," Dyce told the club's website.
