He reacts all the time, constantly walks by the sideline, yells, screams, lives every minute like it’s crucial or the last one. But, hey, that’s Everton gaffer Sean Dyche, and if we put that extrovert approach of his aside a bit, the guy deserves a pat on the back for what he has done at Goodison Park for this short period.Today, his gang of strugglers almost topped Nottingham Forest at the mythical City Ground, but instead of a win, they have to settle with only a 2-2 (1-2) draw. Despite scoring two and being in front both times, the Toffees and their emblematic saviour failed to hold on to that result, conceding another one in the second half.Dogged, determined and at times creative, Everton continue to improve under Sean Dyche. Gueye, Tarkowski and Iwobi the standouts in a combative team performance. A potent goal threat and daft individual errors undermined a display which perhaps deserved more. pic.twitter.com/m1gdsnqE3k— Peter Guy (@Getintothis) March 5, 2023 This way, Everton won’t leave the relegation zone and could possibly drop even further in the next few rounds, albeit the Tricky Trees, too, are just four points clear of them in 14th place.As many as three goals were seen in the first half, moreover within the opening half an hour.The visitors opened the scoring after a blatant tackle on McNeal just a few inches into the box. Gray was accurate from the spot, and we got ourselves a proper skirmish very early on.The Tricky Trees responded, however, promptly through unplayable Johnson. The game’s momentum shifted and just when we thought the hosts would bag another one, the Toffees shone out of the blue again. It was a remarkable set-piece play, with several headers down the road before the ultimate one, Doucoure’s one, for a 2-1 lead.The already tense match exploded in the second half. Countless feuds and nasty tackles created a hectic atmosphere under which the hosts finally managed to level the score near the end through Johnson.His brace brought a much-needed point for Steve Cooper’s side, but it could have been even worse for the Liverpool-based slot, as the same guy narrowly missed a hat-trick with a charming effort close to stoppage time.PREMIER LEAGUERound 26SaturdayMan City – Newcastle 2- 0 (1-0)/Foden 15, Bernardo Silva 67/Arsenal – Bournemouth 3-2 (0-1)/Partey 62, White 70, Nelson 90+7 – Billing 1, Senesi 57/Aston Villa – Crystal Palace 1-0 (1-0)/Andersen 27 og/Brighton – West Ham 4-0 (1-0)/Mac Allister 18 pen, Veltman 51, Mitoma 69, Welbeck 89/Chelsea – Leeds 1-0 (0-0)/Fofana 53/Wolves – Tottenham 1-0 (0-0)/Traore 82/Southampton – Leicester 1-0 (1-0)/Alcaraz 35/SundayNott.
