Everton manager David Moyes has credited former manager Sean Dyche with laying the foundation for a solid defence as they edged past Brighton 1-0 at Old Trafford, while also expressing his pride in his 700th Premier League appearance.

Iliman N’Diaye converted a 42nd-minute penalty to help the Toffees secure two consecutive league victories and move seven points clear of the relegation zone. Moyes said after the game: “I have to say that Sean Dyche has left a lot of great things for this club. ” “The fighting

spirit, the team that is hard to beat and the toughness of the players. We’re just trying to add some things, like creating more chances and scoring goals. “

“The second half was like two hours today! We had a bit of a back-to-back game and we had to play with ten men from the 75th minute, but the players were outstanding. “

“Everton will always be a special place for me. I’ve had 11-and-a-half great years here. I don’t know if I can do another 11-and-a-half, but we’ll see. “

“My only worry now It’s all about staying out of the bottom three so Everton can enter their new stadium as a Premier League club. “

The three points today will help a lot. The negative thing is Calvert-Lewin and Mangala are out injured so hopefully we’ll have time for Neil in the transfer market.” The
