Everton winger Anthony Gordon was delighted with his role in their draw at Chelsea last week.

He wrote for evertonfc.com: "The draw against Chelsea last time out almost felt like a win, purely because of everything we were up against with the number of players missing and the calibre of the opposition.

"The odds were stacked against us but we stuck together as a team and pulled through it with a point and it's given us a big boost.

"It was a performance and a result that we needed, because we knew we'd been under-performing in the games leading up to that.

"We had let down ourselves, the fans, the club - so an away performance like that was massive. You could see at the end how much the fans appreciated it and it gives us all such a lift to see that.

"From a personal point of view, I was pleased with my performance against Chelsea, too. I was over the moon to get an assist, even more so as it was something we had been working on beforehand. I felt confident providing a delivery as soon as we were given the free-kick and I was really happy for Jarrad to score as well.

"I've said it before but that is my aim - to provide as many goals and assists as possible. I want to be making key impacts on games and I need to keep it going now.

"I touched on the fans' reaction earlier but, honestly, the support is incredible when you're out there on the pitch. It's normal for us to sell out every away end but it's never taken for granted. To hear them singing my name so loudly after the game was what I have dreamed of for years as a kid."
