Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny has urged fans not to lose faith after a first defeat of the season.

The Blues put in a frustrating display in being beaten by West Ham at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, who picked up their first victory of their campaign.

"We need to believe, everyone's got to be in it together - from the fans to the players," Kenny told the Liverpool Echo.

"We've got to believe we can go and be a top team again because we've got top players and I think everyone's got to get behind the gaffer.

"I think he's a top manager, everyone's got to buy into his ideas and we all do it together.

"He lets me get forward a lot and wants me to join in, he gives me belief and confidence to go and give my best and not worry what other people are thinking about me.

"I enjoy going out there and feeling relaxed. The manager's been brilliant for me."
