Everton boss Dyche 'pleased' with Fulham draw

Everton boss Sean Dyche says they'll take their point after Tuesday's 0-0 draw at Fulham.

The result drops Everton into the bottom three.

Dyche later said: "I'm pleased, we're a bit stretched at the moment, but there was maximum effort and maximum mentality. It was a ding-dong affair, both sides had chances and we are asking a lot of these players but they delivered.

"If you can't win, get a clean sheet and a point and we did that.

"A good 0-0, if there is such a thing, but we're stretched and asking a lot of them, even from players that are not totally match fit. The group are giving everything, supported by a fantastic fan base. There is a lot of work to do but clear signs of a group giving everything for the cause, even when we have a lot of injuries."

On Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto missing chances, he added: "It would be more of a concern if they're not having chances, they will go in."
