Everton kept a third consecutive European clean sheet and will take a healthy lead to Croatia for next week’s second leg of their play-off. “I was really happy with the first half, really unhappy with the second,” said Ronald Koeman. “We dropped the tempo too much after going two up, and that scoreline was not the maximum we could have taken from the game. Once again there was some help from the Hajduk Split defence. Koeman sent on Tom Davies for the second half in place of Morgan Schneiderlin, who had picked up a booking in the first.
