What Sean Dyche said after his Everton side defeated Arsenal 1-0

Everton manager Sean Dyche revealed the philosophy behind his team's 1-0 Premier League victory over Arsenal on Saturday.

Dyche praised Everton defender James Tarkowski for his performance against Arsenal.

The 51-year-old, who took over as Everton manager when Frank Lampard resigned, stood by as his team defeated Arsenal at Goodison Park.

Everton won the game courtesy to a second-half goal by James Tarkowski.

The win lifts Everton to 17th place in the Premier League rankings.

After the game, Dyche told BT Sport: "The players are the main focus for me; they are everything." This week, they have taken a lot. We observed today that the minimal effort needed is the maximum effort.

"I still think we can play the game better." In favor of James Tarkowski, I'm thrilled. I have been quite happy to watch his career progress."
