Wayne Rooney rides to Everton's rescue

"We are in a difficult situation but it's one thing to come out of this and show fight like we did today," Koeman said. While Koeman will be relieved to avoid a fifth defeat in Everton's last six Premier League games, the Toffees once again looked poor for long periods and remain without an away win since January. The under-fire Dutchman tried to solve Everton's goalscoring problems by restoring Rooney to the attack, but until the penalty the former England captain hardly had a sniff of goal.
