Everton boss Dyche denies targeting Spurs keeper Vicario

Everton boss Sean Dyche insists they didn't target Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario yesterday.

Everton drew 2-2 with Spurs with set-pieces the key.

Asked about targeting the Italian, Dyche said: "We want to be competitive on set pieces all over the pitch. My staff spend a lot of time on analysis to make the best chances they can from set pieces. Delivery is massively important and the intent and desire to go and score a goal. That is a large part of what we keep drilling into the players.

"I think it is evident that there is an intent to score a goal. We do look a threat.

"There is no story there, it is just about the way that we work. I don't always look at the opposition - we are aware of them but mostly it is about what we do and I think we are a threat."
