Everton boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to Match of the Day about holding Chelsea to a goalless draw: "I said before game that Enzo Maresca has done a fine job, and they have certainly shown the power they have got.

"We could have nicked it. It was two teams going at it in the right way. You have to be willing to put a shift in and I think that was on show today.

"The chances were minimal. They had a couple and we had a couple towards the end. We take a point.

"I've never not been proud of these players. We have come through a storm. I respect them. We want to be productive in possession, but it's not easy against these teams."
