Everton manager Sean Dyche admits his change in tactics to 바카라win ugly바카라 paid off as a 1-0 victory over 10-man Burnley eased some of their relegation worries. (More Football News)

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who ended his six-month wait for a goal with the equaliser at Newcastle in the week, charged down Arijanet Muric바카라s clearance seconds before the end of the first half for the only goal and a first league win since December.

Luton바카라s victory over Bournemouth means Dyche바카라s side remain only four points above the drop zone but they have put another club 바카라 Brentford 바카라 between them.

바카라Important and welcome,바카라 was his assessment of the result.

바카라We looked at the idea of how well we had played this season and not won so we deliberately tried to play it long and strong and play the game as awkward and ugly as possible and get an an ugly win and it worked.

바카라We gave the ball away too cheaply but there is a nervousness when you have been on a run like that. That stops the storyline and we have to build on that.

바카라But the winning mentality is important and I think it was on show today to make sure we found a win.바카라

The three points were even more vital with the ruling of a second independent commission into profitability and sustainability breaches 바카라 for which they have already been docked six points this season 바카라 expected next week.

바카라You are trying to control the controllables,바카라 Dyche added.

바카라We바카라ve had another step forward to change that today, I바카라m not saying we have every answer but it is a very important victory I think that바카라s another step forward in the mentality to take the rest of the season on.바카라

Clarets defender Dara O바카라Shea was sent off in the 67th minute after bringing down Dwight McNeil just over the halfway line and boss Vincent Kompany felt referee Michael Oliver바카라s decision was harsh at best.

바카라The letter of the law says he should have been denying a goalscoring opportunity to be sent off and I바카라ll let you guys make your judgement on that.

바카라There was a lot of force on the ball and it would be a comfortable pick up for the goalkeeper.바카라

Defeat left 19th-placed Burnley six points from safety but Kompany refused to blame his goalkeeper.

바카라He has to keep going. It is part of being a professional footballer. We all live with the mistakes we make, it happens for everyone in life and in football it is no different,바카라 he added.

바카라Our momentum collapsed twice through moments of our own doing. But I can바카라t for one second criticise the effort of the team and the idea to come here and play like this.바카라
