Onana urges Everton teammates: We must stick together

Everton star Amadou Onana has insisted there are positives they can take from yet another defeat.

The Toffees were beaten by Arsenal in the Premier League at home on Sunday, losing 1-0.

While Onana is aware that they must start winning games to move up the table, he believes the performance was not insufficient.

“Yes, of course there are positives to take," Onana told Everton's club website. “We put a lot of intensity into the game, but I think everyone is disappointed because losing games doesn't feel great.

“It was a disappointing afternoon, of course, because I think we did quite a lot of things in the right way. I think there's a positive to take from the defensive performance.

“We defended pretty well and stayed compact because we knew they were going to try to find Odegaard and Vieira between the lines, but they were very good today.

“We stick together as a team, and we will build from this performance and take on the next one."
