New Everton boss Sean Dyche found the right mix of energy and persistence to kickstart the team in his first match in charge on Saturday. While tougher tests lie ahead – starting with the Merseyside derby at Anfield – Everton fans will at least have been given some hope from the way Dyche’s reorganised side, which included the recalled Abdoulaye Doucoure, saw off the Gunners with a second-half goal from James Tarkowski.
