Everton captain Coleman: Dyche prep led to victory over Arsenal

Everton skipper Seamus Coleman says the "homework" done by new boss Sean Dyche was one of the keys to Saturday's shock win over Arsenal.

The Republic of Ireland veteran, 34, started and finished the 1-0 victory over the Prem leaders at Goodisdon Park.

After the match, he told journalist and former Premier League player Jan Aage Fjortoft: "We'd more than enough deserved those points because of the chances we had.

"But in terms of a script, yes, the manager has worked hard on us in training, which positions to be in and when they have the ball on one side of the pitch, to tuck in and make it tight.

"You don't get those three points without doing your homework."
