Everton boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to Premier League Productions after his side picked up their first point of the season: "Very positive display. We had chances that went begging again, unfortunately, which we have done too many times in games where we should be killing them off. We didn't manage to do that today, but a lot of positives to take.

"James Garner was ill and got thrown in last minute and he played excellently,]. [Ashley] Young and Iliman [Ndiaye] produced some superb play for the goal.

"Unfortunately, you come away from a game where you probably should win, with just a point. Normally you would be pleased with a point but, at the moment, we would've loved that win."

On the confidence shown by his team: "It is just noise you know? The players are human beings so naturally it does effect you, but the point is that it is just noise.

"I've told them that we have been through this before, had challenges before, had a lot of knocks, and the players have been grinding through.

"Today was not a grind. There was some really good play and we affected it in a really good manner. We opened them up enough times to win the game, but you have got to score another goal."
