Everton goalkeeper Pickford: We refused to give in

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford hopes their draw at Wolves will help keep them up.

Everton are two points outside the bottom three.

Pickford said, "Hopefully, come Monday at 9:45pm, it's a good point. It's great for our belief. We would have liked to win today, but a point is better than zero. We showed character and never gave up. That character and desire should be massive.

"When I saw it [the amount of stoppage time], I thought it was six [minutes] at first. But we kept our belief and kept pushing. In football, you never know.

"I thought we were a bit sloppy in our possession, I think we can improve on that. [The goal] comes from a loose ball to [Adama] Traore. We need to tidy that up because I felt we were in control. We had some good chances before they went 1-0 up.

"You just have to stand up and be counted as a team, put pride on your own individual performances. I give 100 per cent every time I put on the shirt. If everyone does that, it'll help the team. We didn't give in, we grafted and hopefully it's an important point come next Sunday.

"The fans are with us all the time and we have to repay them, but it's about us repaying ourselves with good performances. The passion we'll hopefully show next Sunday, the fans will hopefully see that and see what a team we are."
