Dyche hails 'fantastic' Everton record-breaker Coleman

Everton manager Sean Dyche paid tribute to Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman after the full-back became the club's leading Premier League appearance-maker.

Goalkeeper Tim Howard's record of 354 Premier League appearances was bettered today by the Donegal native in the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa at Goodison Park.

The 35-year-old joined the Toffees from Sligo Rovers for £60,000 in 2009 and has gone on to enjoy a distinguished career on the blue half of Merseyside.

Speaking after the game, Dyche said: "A fantastic servant, what he is and what he's given to the side.

"It was a big day for him - deservedly so - and I'm pleased for him we got some kind of result as it would not have been an enjoyable moment for him."

Dyche meanwhile claims not to know anything about suggestions Everton could learn on Monday whether they will face any charges regarding profit and sustainability breaches relating to accounts submitted last month.

"Nothing at the moment, just waiting on the news. The last time (when they were deducted 10 points earlier in the season) the news came out of the blue.

"You don't know until you know. I'll explain further if and when the news comes through."
