Marco Silva Urges Everton Fans to Keep it Up After 'Fantastic Atmosphere' in Merseyside Derby

Everton manager Marco Silva has praised Everton's fans after they generated what he thought was a 'fantastic atmosphere' during the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Sunday.

A hardly-fought contest finished 0-0 and, with few clear-cut chances being created, neither side was able to find a winner despite both teams tiring visibly as the game entered the final quarter.

A draw for Everton means that they at least had the satisfaction of stopping their arch-rivals Liverpool from returning to the top of the Premier League, after Manchester City won at Bournemouth on Saturday.
