Sean Dyche slapped an Everton player

This Sunday, the race to remain in the Premier League offered a hell of a duel on the 34th day. Everton (16th) hosted Nottingham Forest (17th). Outside the red zone, the two teams who were provisionally 2 units and 1 point ahead of Luton Town (18th) had the opportunity to take off. At home, Sean Dyche’s Toffees did well.

In the first period shortly before the half-hour mark, it was former Parisian Idrissa Gueye who started the proceedings (29th). In the second half, the Liverpool-based club took cover thanks to Dwight McNeil (76th). With this 2-0 success, Everton relegates their opponent of the day to four points and Luton to five points. A very bad operation for Nottingham Forest who will host Manchester City the next day.
