LONDON - After overseeing Everton's win against Bournemouth that prolonged the club's 69-season English top-flight stay, manager Sean Dyche said the final day of the season was horrible and the Merseyside club must refocus to oversee lasting change.
The nine-time top-division champions needed Abdoulaye Doucoure's second-half goal on Sunday to earn a 1-0 victory that kept Everton in the Premier League by two points.
It is the second season in a row that Everton have preserved their top-tier status by the skin of their teeth, and Dyche predicted a long, hard path for the club if they are to ensure they do not end up in the same predicament next term.
"Horrible day for all concerned apart from getting the job done," he said. "This was the main job. We had to get it sorted out and over the line. That was the key focus. Now we must refocus on the rest of it.
