Ronald Koeman was delighted with his Everton side's high intensity in their opening-day draw against Tottenham at Goodison Park.
New Everton manager Ronald Koeman, who had publicly questioned the readiness of his side for the Premier League campaign, was delighted with their display after his first competitive game in charge of the Merseyside club ended in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
Erik Lamela's superb diving header midway through the first half cancelled out Ross Barkley's early opener in what was an entertaining affair at Goodison Park, with the former Southampton managers Koeman and Mauricio Pochettino having to settle for a share of the spoils.
