Everton boss Dyche pleased with Gray at striker

Everton boss Sean Dyche has spoken about the performance of winger Demarai Gray against Nottingham Forest.

The Toffees were able to get a 2-2 draw against Forest, fellow rivals for relegation.

Gray got a chance to play in a forward position instead of striker Neal Maupay, and Dyche was relatively pleased with his work.

The Everton manager explained in his press conference: "I thought he did well. We are asking him to change a little bit and he worked hard.

Neal Maupay has worked great in training this week, he has got on with it, no disappointment there.

“Demarai showed signs of what he can do. He nicked himself a goal, albeit from the penalty spot, and I enjoyed his open-mindedness to it.

“He's played there before, but it's not always that familiar to him, and I thought he delivered a good performance."
