Rafa Benitez said Everton produced a “great reaction” against Burnley but hopes they stop conceding first: “It will be easier for my health”. The Blues fought back from going behind to win 3-1 for a second successive game at Goodison as goals from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray capped a remarkable six-minute turnaround. Everton struggled badly to react after conceding the first goal last season but Benitez says the two victories at home are a product of the squad’s will to win.
Rafa Benitez said: “We can see, from the first minute, in every single game the commitment is there. The players want to win, they want to compete, they have the desire to do well. We conceded the goal we conceded and we wanted to change things and react and the fans appreciated that. As soon as we scored, the fans were behind the players. Hopefully we can score goals and not concede because for sure, it will be easier for my health. Every manager wants to win but when you do so, in front of your fans at home, you have to enjoy it for sure. A great reaction, the team were doing well and the fans were happy. Everyone was pushing that we could change the game.”
