EPL legend, Alan Shearer has come out to say that Everton have shown that they also know how to win big away from home. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, we’ve gotten used to seeing Everton fall apart when things go wrong for them on the road this season, but Sunday’s crucial win at Leicester proves a change in mentality.
Shearer added that the Toffees are currently battling relegation because they have made plenty of costly mistakes at the back, but that has reduced in recent games.
His words, “We’ve got used to seeing Everton fall apart when things go wrong for them on the road this season, but Sunday’s crucial win at Leicester was a different story.”
“After going ahead with a stunning Vitaliy Mykolenko strike, Everton made an awful error to let the Foxes equalise and then saw the defender responsible, Yerry Mina, go off injured a few minutes later.”
“That was nothing new in what has been a tough campaign for them – the Toffees are down near the bottom of the table because they have made plenty of costly mistakes at the back before, and that area of the team is where they have had a lot of injuries as well.”
“It could have affected them badly this time too, and it might even have been the start of another collapse – but instead it actually galvanised them.”
“They came back, got another goal and held on for their first away win since August.”
“This is the Everton team who then Burnley boss Sean Dyche said ‘didn’t know how to win’ when they led the Clarets at half-time at Turf Moor before collapsing, just over a month ago.”
“Dyche was right then, but it’s not the case anymore. Everton changed the narrative at King Power Stadium, and got themselves an absolutely massive result.”
