Everton coach, Sean Dyche has suggested why his team played a 0-0 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.
Arsenal failed to beat Everton at Emirates Stadium despite dominating the match.
Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to create many clear-cut chances with the Toffees delivering a resilient defensive display.
Speaking after the game at his post-match interview, Dyche suggested that his team didn’t give the Gunners too many chances to score.
He added that his players put in a ‘big shift’ against the hosts throughout the duration of the match.
“You have to know how to work it without the ball. It’s difficult at these grounds to think you’ll have the ball therefore you have to do the other things well,” Dyche said.
“These [Arsenal] are a fine side, we know that. They often dominate the ball, they often dominate chances, I don’t think we gave them too many. Jordan made a big save to his left.
“The players put a big shift in. The commitment to doing the basics as I call it, pressing and recovering and staying true to it for 90 minutes. I was proud of the players.”
