Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite believes the point earned against Sheffield United will prove vital.

The Toffees appeared to be heading for yet another Premier League defeat this season.

However, a late goal from Abdoulaye Doucoure and a vital save from Jordan Pickford gave the Toffees a point.

He told the club's website: It was a hard-fought game. When we went 1-0 up, I think we were dominating and we just took our foot off the gas a little bit. In this league, that kills you.

We go in at half-time 2-1 down despite dominating but the gaffer said we have to keep full focus for every minute throughout the game. We came out second half and started it sharp.

We got our goal and I thought we deserved more. It's a massive boost in confidence to get something from the game and we know we could have got more. We were the better team, it was just that lack of concentration with the two goals."
