Jordan Pickford says Richarlison's performance against Chelsea epitomised what Everton need to survive in the Premier League this season.

The Brazilian scored the only goal as Everton sunk the Blues at Goodison Park, leaving two points from safety with a game in hand.

"It is going to be hard work over the final five games and it is on us as a team to keep working on the training pitch every day, giving 100-per-cent effort and commitment," Pickford told evertontv.

"If we do that, the quality will come.

"Richarlison worked hard for 45 minutes against Chelsea and had a couple of chances, then he got his reward with the goal in the 46th minute, because he'd continued working hard.

"Our character and effort and team spirit drove us on and, with the fans behind us like they were, it was incredible.

"Yes, we could enjoy the win – but we have to stay focused on getting results.

"That means preparing for the next match and our attentions now turn to Leicester on Sunday."
