Blues brothers in arms up for scrap

- CHRIS McKENNA

EVERTON stand-in goalkeeper Joao Virginia believes the Toffees’ sticky situation with the Premier League has given them an extra edge on the pitch.

The Blues were hit with a second charge for breaching the league’s financial rules after being earlier docked 10 points for the same offence.

Now with the threat of another points deduction, Everton’s players continue to fight on the pitch while their lawyers battle off it.

Virginia believes that was evident in their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night as Sean Dyche’s side edged into the fourth round after the replay.
