Everton boss Sean Dyche wants his players to draw inspiration from Brian Clough to end their scoring woes.

Everton again drew a blank in defeat at Manchester United on Saturday.

"When I was at Forest as a young player, Brian Clough used to say to us 'you have to get hurt to score a goal'," Dyche said.

"I was a midfield player at the time. I knew what he meant.

"They can't all be beautiful goals. Sometimes you just have to get there, you have to fight, you have to score an ugly goal, a tough goal. You have to throw yourself at something to score a goal. Not just wait for all the lovely goals.

"Modern football has changed. There is a modern version of it. We are not talking massive challenges, that doesn't happen any more. But getting in front of a defender, using your body to get there first. That sort of instinct.

"Having that tiny bit of devilment to get there before the defender, or before the keeper."
