David Unsworth says he feels “a lot more positive about where we are heading” following Everton’s “hard-earned” draw with Crystal Palace.
Unsworth saw his team recover from a “disastrous” start in south London, with Leighton Baines’ precision penalty quickly equalising James McArthur’s first-minute strike for the hosts.
Oumar Niasse levelled on the stroke of half-time after Wilfried Zaha had fired home to restore Palace's slender advantage, and Unsworth felt Everton’s refusal to buckle in the face of their dual setbacks was indicative of a side that is “starting to come round”.
