Premier League Talking Points: The Dyche bounce, history man Kane, Garnacho's claim, Jones out of his depth?

Within minutes of Everton securing a first Premier League win in almost four months a gif emerged of Sean Dyche as Superman. “My head’s been put on a few of them … usually wrestlers,” he said. “I think the period of earning respect is longer than that with the fans but it is nice to get off to a good start. They were terrific from the off.” As were Everton’s players as they pressed Arsenal into submission at a pulsating Goodison Park. Everton covered more distance in Dyche’s first game than in any match under Frank Lampard this season, with Amadou Onana and the recalled duo of Abdoulaye Doucouré and Dwight McNeil to the fore. The effect was striking, although it shouldn’t take a superhero to extract the basics from a relegation-threatened team. “I doubt many of the players I’ve worked with would say I am hardline,” added Dyche. “They would say hard professional standards and high demand.
