"Every game should be a must win": Sean Dyche speaks as Everton rescue crucial point at Leicester
Everton also lost captain Seamus Coleman to serious injury during the game
Last updated 2nd May 2023
Alex Iwobi rescued a point for Everton in a pulsating 2-2 draw at drop rivals Leicester.
The forward capitalised on Jordan Pickford's crucial penalty save when he stopped James Maddison making it 3-1 just before the break.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's spot-kick opened the scoring, his first goal since October, before it was cancelled out by Caglar Soyuncu.
Jamie Vardy's goal sent Leicester ahead and Maddison missed the chance to put the hosts in control, with Iwobi levelling soon after the re-start.
Everton also lost captain Seamus Coleman to a serious injury to further add to their problems.
Everton remain second bottom, a point from safety, with four games left.
Everton boss Sean Dyche said: "It's a such a strange journey since I've been here. When I got here they'd taken five points from 12 games now we're a point for point on games. Now it's about taking it on even further.
"Sometimes you think 'I don't know how they are 2-1 up' and I certainly thought that at half time. The composure of the team to keep performing in the second half was pleasing and we're going to keep needing that.
"I've seen this league change many times. We've got tough games but everyone's got tough games, this stage of the season is about tough games.
"Every game should be a must win when you are a professional. I thought it was a very good performance, the will, the demand but also the quality to create things.
"All the markers which usually bring a win were there. They didn't but we have to keep doing that because it shows there's a clear shift from the last game."
On Coleman he added: "We're waiting on news. It doesn't look great and we're waiting on more details."
