Everton boss Dyche pleased with Newcastle draw

Everton boss Sean Dyche was left pleased with their 1-1 draw at Newcastle United.

Alexander Isak struck the opener for the Magpies, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin finding an equaliser from the spot on 88 minutes for the Blues.

Dyche said: "More of an edge to it. We were disappointed on Saturday, performance was a bit flat. Tonight was a really good performance, particularly in the second half. We finally found a penalty, we don't get many. They got the right decision and we scored.

"This job wasn't a walk in the park when I got it and it is still not, there is a long way to go but there are a lot of steps we are making in the right direction.

"I know we are capable of getting wins and results, we haven't scored as many as we would like but the mentality is right and certainly right tonight."

He added on Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring: "He has been working hard and getting in the right areas. He strikes it well enough to go in and I am pleased for him and the group."
