Everton boss Sean Dyche says their 3-0 win against Newcastle was thoroughly deserved.

Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Beto struck for the hosts.

Dyche later told evertontv: "We delivered a good performance against Manchester United, maybe even better than the one against Newcastle, but today we got the opposite [result].

"It was a strong first half against a good outfit. I've been asked what we have to change to improve the home form, and I've said to take our chances, and today we did.

"Week in and week out, you have to be performing. I try and concentrate on the performance levels, and the markers I am looking for, plus all the other things I often speak about. If you get them right over a season, it will pay you back."

He added: "I mention mentality so often because I believe it is the underbelly of a real team, an authentic team.

"It's growing here, you can sense it, and the players are adapting to each other.

"The commitment to the cause is growing. We know we have quality by the way, but you have to do the hard yards. You have to do the ugly side of the game."
