He said: "The boys are a little bit flat in there but we'll see what happens tomorrow. We'll do what we have to do. The boys have everything, pushed them back and made them defend. We'll see how it goes.
"It was tough. I've just come back from a long-term injury. Today it was about conserving my energy and get in the box to score the goals. We thought we could get some crosses in the box and we've got me and Carlton Morris in there trying to head it. It's something I've learned coming through and I've kept it to this day.
"It's been tough. I've watched a lot of the games. I was itching to come back a few weeks earlier and I had a little setback. I just wanted to help the boys."
On Andros Townsend's late shot, he said: "Look at the gaffer's reaction, we all thought it was going in. I can't believe it. Everton defended well. We just have to kick on for next week. I won't watch the games tomorrow, I'll just look at the full-time scores. We'll focus on what we've got and see where we are."
