Everton midfielder Fabian Delph was left delighted to be part of victory over Manchester United.

Anthony Gordon struck the only goal of the game in today's early kickoff.

Delph said, "Coming off the back of the last game there was a lot of disappointment. Heads were down, as you'd expect. We came into it with a good game plan. We had to stick together at times, but we did that and got the three points.

"We expected them to have chances. They're a top team with top players. It was about sticking together and riding the storm, and we managed to do that. It's a massive relief for the players, management and everyone associated with Everton."

On Frank Lampard's message at half-time, he continued: "Just to stay in the game. We finally felt compact. We knew they were going to dominate the ball, so it was about staying compact, communicating and riding that wave."

"It was good for me to get out there. I'm always wanting to help the lads. It was good to do that today, but I don't think I'll train for a week!"

On the relegation scrap, he concluded: "It's a massive fight. One game at a time. We're not going to get carried away. The next game is about getting points on the table, that's our main focus and to stay up."
