Getting back to basics has helped Everton says Neville

Everton captain Phil Neville says getting back to the fundamentals and doing things the way they want has assisted the club in recent weeks.

The Toffees have scored 12 goals in their past six matches to remain undefeated in that time and Neville puts it down to manager David Moyes re-employing the basics.

"About a month ago the manager said we're going get back to basics and play to our strengths," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"It's amazing that when you simplify your game you score more goals.

"The more players we're losing the better results we're getting, the spirit we're showing at the moment is fantastic, it's really enjoyable.

"Our strength is our energy and our work-rate and we've got back to that this last month, and I think the crowd have warmed to us much better - it is the Everton way."
