Everton midfielder Schneiderlin: Late season run shows potential

Morgan Schneiderlin says Everton's late season form exemplifies their potential.

The Toffees finished the 2018/19 campaign with six wins and three draws in their final 11 matches, scoring 18 goals and recording eight clean sheets.

That run included wins over Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, and Schneiderlin thinks Everton can push the top-six next season.

"It's always important to have consistency in our game," he said.

"We've always had the quality. Against Tottenham, we showed if we concede the first goal, we can still play with confidence, with desire.

"Even if the first 20 minutes were not good enough, we didn't let ourselves get down and we regrouped. We did well.

"That's the most important thing, to learn from our mistakes in the past. That's what we did, so fair play to everyone

"Our last 25 minutes of the first half was good and we had some chances to score goals. In the second half, we were more compact with better organisation.

"We hurt them twice, but it was just a shame we conceded the goal that doesn't allow us to take the three points.

"But it's a good result against a top team. It's good for the future."
