Everton manager Ronald Koeman said: “If you don’t score the second and kill the game then it is always difficult in the last few minutes. But we had much more ball possession, 18 shots on target, them 0 and it is normal you win three points.
“Today we were not really clinical in the box. We had some good opportunities and need to be more aggressive, but the performance was good, it is a good start to the season and we can build on that.
“Two wins and one draw is very positive, but we can do much better and we need to improve in several aspects.”
On the penalty that Everton were awarded, he adds: “It is so difficult to analyse that situation. There are enough reasons for Mark Hughes to be angry. If everyone whistles for these situations you would accept it, but one referee does and another one doesn’t.”
