SEAMUS COLEMAN says Everton are determined to push their way into the Champions League positions under Ronald Koeman.
Coleman netted a late winner in Saturday’s 1-0 away win at Crystal Palace.
Coleman took a pass from Tom Davies to fire home in the 87th minute at Selhurst Park, his fourth Premier League goal of the season.
Everton are unbeaten now in five games.

“This is a club that really wants to be pushing for those Champions League positions.
“All-round training has been very intense. You have to be on it. No position is taken for granted, if you’re not at it you’ll be out of the team.
“Keeping you on your toes is important as that’s how I feel. I feel good this season. The last couple of seasons when the team was struggling or finishing 11th it’s hard to play to your full potential but I’m enjoying this season.”

Coleman said: “There was no point beating Man City 4-0 last week and coming down here and not getting a result. That’s probably something we’ve done too much in the past.
“I think for the fans it’s important to look forward and try to chase the top six but for us as players we’ve just got to keep this run going and look at ourselves to get back-to-back wins.”
