It was his first Everton goal and the first he’d scored since netting for Burnley against Brighton in 2021 – when Dyche was his manager at Turf Moor. After a season of doom and gloom, Everton made the most of their new manager bounce as Arsenal were knocked out of their stride. Dyche received a rousing ovation when he walked to the dug-out and the players responded with Amadou Onana and Doucoure asked to support Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a 4-1-4-1.

Arsenal boss Arteta told BT Sport: “We had loads of the ball but we lacked that purpose and quality in the final third, we generated many chances. We have to keep working and improving." But we have to give the fans something. We gave the players a lot of information and they have accepted that. "A lot of work has been done this week and the players' honesty has been invaluable to us. "We tried to plan five weeks of pre-season into a week.

New Everton boss Sean Dyche wants his players to be aware of the club's history. Dyche says he's an admirer of Howard Kendall's team of the 1980s.

While there is a benefit to having a coach like Gruden serve as an advisor, the question will be has he shown enough growth and true remorse, in a very short period of time, for the things he said in the past? This has led to speculation, and fervent desire, that the Steelers might bring in someone to help out the offense. Another issue is that Gruden sued the NFL and Roger Goodell for releasing his bigoted remarks to the public. Still, there is no doubt that he could help to bring a spark to the Steelers offense. His critics say that he isn't able to work magic on teams where the player deck isn't stacked in his favor. Rooney also said that the team's turnaround in the second half of the season was a major contributing factor to why they decided to retain Canada. With the future unclear in Pittsburgh with Trubisky and Rudolph, the Steelers would benefit from a player like Purdy on the roster. “Kind of like, if you be here just try to figure out what your role is, and if you’re not here, then you got to try to find a new situation, like what the new situation might be and stuff like that. South Dakota’s Chris Oladokun was selected by the Steelers as the 241st pick in the seventh and final round of the draft. The Giants agreed to a highly-publicized 13-year, $350M deal with Correa, but the deal fell through over concerns the Giants had with Correa’s physical. The Broncos made Wilson the centerpiece of their team in 2021 and the quarterback simply failed to deliver. That does not give Las Vegas much time to come up with a solution, and it does not sound like Carr is willing to extend the deadline.

As Evertonians would hope from a Dyche side, the Blues hassled and harried Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal players from the start, determined to make up for their past deficiencies that have left them in such a precarious position.

Sean Dyche's sheer energy galvanises Everton with echoes of club's history evident during their victory over league leaders Arsenal.

At the end, as Goodison erupted, there was a brisk handshake with Arteta and a couple of members of his staff, a brief acknowledgement of the crowd in a few sharp claps and then he was down the tunnel. In the eighties, particularly during their Cup-Winners’ Cup success in 1985, Everton had been a pioneer of a five-man midfield and Dyche, ripping up the 4-4-2 blueprint of his Burnley days, paid homage to that. There had been demonstrations outside before kick-off and early in the game a plane flew over dragging a banner that proclaimed Everton “the league’s worst-run club”. Dyche had spoken of wanting to recapture the spirit of the eighties, which is reasonable enough if only as an appeal to the traditions of the club. Most of the time, particularly after half-time, Dyche was bellowing at his defence to push up, with expansive wafts of his right arm. Vast sums have been spent very badly and again the board stayed away for its own safety, but just because there are a lot of things to put right it does not mean that you shouldn’t correct the things you can.

Sean Dyche is back in the Premier League and will take charge of his first game as Everton manager this afternoon, live on talkSPORT.Dyche's arrival.

Speaking on Arsenal in his pre-match press conference, Dyche said: “Fine side, very good side, obviously people are talking about winning the league that stands for itself. And it’s the same for Everton as a whole, who have won three of their last four Premier League fixtures against Arsenal after only winning three of their previous 26!

He had teamed up well with the industrious McNeil but the attack’s hopes were pinned on him, and against a more clinical version of Arsenal, one goal would surely not have been enough. The title, Arteta knows, is his to lose. Dyche had opted for a 4-5-1, with Amadou Onana given license to roam forward and tearing free from Odegaard to sprint up-field and square it across the goal mouth. They made the table-toppers look the worst they have all season in the first half. Dyche had walked into a cauldron; the question is whether he will get out of it unscathed. On this evidence, he is just the man.

Arsenal have been top of the Premier League since November 6 following a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but they are in danger of relinquishing that lead to City a day after Valentine’s Day. It is the kind of grit that Everton will need to stand a chance of survival in the Premier League, especially after failing to sign a single player in the January transfer window.

The Sean Dyche era at Everton got off to the perfect start as they stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.

After winning just one of their first 12 games back in the Premier League for the first time since 1999, Steve Cooper’s side has gelled and picked up wins over Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Leicester since late October. When Leeds kick off on Sunday, the only thing separating them from the relegation zone will be five goals in the goal difference column. After creeping close to mid-table with back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Bournemouth before the World Cup break, Leeds (18 points – 16th place) have taken just three of a possible 18 points. A season ago, Manchester City conceded just 26 goals in 38 games (0.68 per game). Arsenal (50 points) were handed just their second defeat of the season on Saturday, beaten 1-0 away to Everton as Sean Dyche made his debut as Toffees manager. Chelsea has some work to do while surprising Fulham, Brentford and Brighton are hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. The home fans are loving the start of the Sean Dyche era. Incredible play by Amadou Onana to surge down the left and he crosses for Dominic Calvert-Lewin who is sliding in and two yards out. A high cross to the back post finds Bukayo Saka and he brilliantly volleys the ball towards the bottom corner but Conor Coady gets back on the line to clear. Lovely corner from Saka to pick him out but the shot was a tough one to keep down. 11, while Everton have a huge Merseyside derby at Liverpool on Monday, Feb. Arsenal host Brentford on Saturday, Feb.

It was of a standard high enough to climb out of a relegation fight, but Dyche will not be thinking like that.
