Everton netted a last-minute winner against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.

David Moyes’ side produced a brilliant away performance against the Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest.

Dwight McNeil assisted Abdoulaye Doucoure’s winning goal, which sent the away end into complete raptures.

The Toffees now reside in 14th, a whopping 18 points clear of the relegation zone, so it’s evidently been some turnaround since Moyes replaced Sean Dyche in January.

What Everton players chanted after beating Nottingham Forest

It’s clear Dyche’s football really didn’t suit this group and as such, it created a dull and negative atmosphere around Finch Farm.

When Moyes returned, he placed great emphasis on bringing back a positive culture around the club and has significantly improved the style of play.

That comradery was evident on the coach home yesterday, as some Everton players were heard chanting an anti-Liverpool song together.

“Kopites are gob—–,” rang around the bus.

It’s not been confirmed exactly which players sang it, but it sounded like a good few of them.

Everton can still finish in the top 10

If you’d have told Everton fans at the start of the year, that they could genuinely finish in the top 10 this season, many would’ve laughed.

But that’s the position Moyes’ men find themselves in, as they reside seven points adrift from 10th-placed Brentford with 18 points to play for.

Evidently, it’s a tall order, but not impossible, so that’s the lofty goal they should set for themselves to finish on a real high.

Interestingly, 11th and 10th place could get Conference League football, so there is a slim possibility Everton are playing in Europe next season.

What an appointment Moyes has been.
