Everton have got to find a way to do better in the "big moments", according to Sean Dyche, who picked out one player in particular for praise after suffering his first home defeat in charge of the club.
The Blues boss was largely pleased with his side's performance against Aston Villa, believing they battled well and caused problems for their opponents. But he acknowledged the "theme" of Everton's season continued at Goodison Park on Saturday as they were unable to convert the chances they worked so hard to create.
Neal Maupay and Amadou Onana both forced Emiliano Martinez into action and the Blues had the momentum after wrestling control of the game after a challenging opening 15 minutes. The match later changed with a controversial penalty that allowed Villa to take a second-half lead that Everton were powerless to overcome.
