Everton boss Sean Dyche hailed the togetherness of his side after they beat Newcastle 3-0 to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone.Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Beto scored in the final 11 minutes as the Toffees took the spoils at a raucous Goodison Park.Dyche has emphasised the importance of team spirit since the club were hit by a 10-point deduction last month and he believes that was evident in their display.Dyche said: "The performance level at home has been pleasing all season but you have got win games and you have got to score goals."We did that well.
I thought it was another good performance, particularly first half against a good outfit."I have spoken about the mentality and I think you could sense there is a connected group.
Everyone knew what they were doing, they just said, 'Let's get on it, let's go out and play'."That's when you know you are onto something.
It doesn't guarantee anything but I think we're on to something."Newcastle manager Eddie Howe - who played down a post-match scuffle involving Joelinton, Anthony Gordon, James Tarkowski and Jordan Pickford as "just emotions" - was left to rue a missed opportunity to close the gap to the top four."The game was there for us to win in the second half after an even first half," he said. "I don't think we played particularly well."I thought we had them penned in and then conceded the first goal and that changed the momentum.
