at Goodison Park
EVERTON manager Sean Dyche had more praise for the Goodison Park faithful after their side secured a vital 1-0 win at home to Brentford.
The victory, which came courtesy of a Dwight McNeil goal just 35 seconds after kick-off, lifted Everton out of the relegation zone albeit having played a game more than some teams around them.
Despite its earliness, few fans would have missed McNeil’s well-struck goal as the stadium was loud ahead of kick-off.
