Everton winger Gray amazed by away fans' support

Everton forward Demarai Gray hailed the club's traveling support this week.

The Toffees managed an impressive draw against Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend.

Gray spoke about the way 3,000 Everton fans were in the stadium and singing throughout the contest, boosting the players' morale.

On the fans, Gray said, per the Liverpool Echo: "The fans travel with us everywhere. They travel long distances and make noise for us until the end. We have to give them a lot of credit and we owe them these type of performances.

“Me, leading the line, I want to work and show them that commitment. I'm grateful for them. It's a collective - staff, players and fans and, maybe even more so when times aren't good, it's about sticking together and we're doing that."

About the game, he stated: "I'm enjoying it. For me, it's just about being on the pitch, trying to help the boys and contribute where I can. It was a bit different today playing against a back three who were big guys but I did my best.

"I always try to contribute with goals and assists but it's about working hard wherever I'm asked to play, whatever role I'm given, I'm going to give 100%."
