Everton bo s Sean Dyche insisted his side never doubted themselves after a thumping 5-1 Premier League victory over Brighton lifted the Toffees two points clear of the relegation zone.It was Evertons first away league win in 14 attempts and could not have come at a more opportune time, with just three matches now remaining to secure their top-flight safety.Abdoulaye Doucoures strike after 33 Devon Travis Jersey seconds laid down what retrospectively ultimately felt like an emphatic opening statement as both he and Dwight McNeil went on to scores braces on either side of the half.Dyche said: People will be out there thinking right, OK, theres life in that team but weve never lost sight of that.It just reminds the players that their work ethic, their commitment to the cause, their commitment to the group is really important because I know theres quality.Ive always believed theres quality Jose Bautista Jersey . Ive said it many times, but talking about it doesnt win you a game. Its the collective mentality to go and deliver everything youve got.We were very frustrated not to come away with all three points (against Leicester) but we got a reward for carrying on that mentality in their performances tonight.Doucoure netted his second when he volleyed the ball home after 29 minutes before McNeils cro s further buried Brighton, with it deflecting off Jordan Steele, who had stooped to save but instead felt the ball bounce off the back of his leg and in.Alexis Mac Allister clawed Jaime Garcia Jersey one back before McNeils first but the Brighton burial was not complete until McNeil fired home the visitors fifth in the embers of second-half stoppage-time.Victory meant Dyches side are safe for the time being, with league leaders Manchester City up next followed by encounters with Wolves and Bournemouth.Theyre very high feeling the feel-good factor, he added. But its only another step. I said that after Arsenal, and sometimes people forget that. Theres three more big steps weve got to take.Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi, meanwhile, suggested his sides performance revealed they were not yet ready to go toe-to-toe with the best in the busine s, though he was unspecific about whether he was looking at Englands top four or Toronto Blue Jays Jersey more broadly to the other side of the Channel.It could still be po sible for Brighton to secure European football with a seventh-place finish, but De Zerbis men would feel more satisfied with a higher position.He said: Of course we can lose the game. We can Paul Molitor Jersey lose against Everton, but Im disappointed for the first half because it was tough.We showed we are not ready yet to compete and to achieve the big target.But I am speaking about mentality, not other things, not other parts of football.Its not easy because playing in the last period, three games in a week is difficult if you are not used to playing so many games.But if we want to improve, if we want to fix our target higher, we have to improve very fast. |
