Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has urged his teammates to push ahead of a game against Brighton.

The Toffees have been battling hard in recent weeks, often with little to no reward.

After a draw at home against Crystal Palace on Monday, Onana knows they have to find a way to get all three points at the Albion.

Speaking after the Palace game, Onana told evertontv: “I always try to affect football matches.

“Whether I start or not, I still try to help the team and help to win football matches because that's all that matters.

“Every time I'm on that football pitch, I try to be the one who makes the difference – especially coming from the bench. Seeing the spaces, I was like: 'Yes, there is a space for me to go and get one.' So, I'm happy tonight."

On upcoming games, he added: “[We] keep going. Keep going, keep pushing, keep putting the graft and hard work in, and we'll definitely be rewarded."
