Sean Dyche proclaimed that the most-satisfying aspect of Everton’s 5-1 thrashing of Brighton & Hove Albion was the players’ implementing of the special game plan he deployed.
The victory was only Everton’s second away success of the season in the Premier League and moved them out of the relegation zone. The Blues boss said: “I’m not sure I saw it coming myself in terms of the scoreline but I did with the performance as I saw it at Leicester. The scoreline is a big one for any team, particularly on the road.
“There’s been a lot of noise for the last couple of years about Everton as a group playing away but I think we’ve been improving the mentality generally-speaking. There have been a couple that got away from us but there have been some stronger performances away from home and more committed performances I think and tonight paid us back on what we did at Leicester.”
