Leno - The reason for our defensive improvement

Bernd Leno was a happy man after Saturday's Premier League game against Everton.

Not only did our No 1 keep his third clean sheet of the season, he also didn't have to make a single save during our goalless draw at Goodison Park.

So why does Leno think we were much better defensively against the Toffees?

"It was completely different to other games, but you can see only with intensity, with mentality, we didn’t concede a goal," he said.

"We didn’t let them have chances, like Freddie said and the new manager. I think the lineup was very good because everybody was fighting for the team and we showed great mentality.
