Ronald Koeman hailed Everton's "character" after Friday's 2-2 fightback draw with Hull City saw them rescue a point away from Goodison Park.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the sixth minute through Michael Dawson, but were pegged back on the brink of half-time by a David Marshall own goal.
Robert Snodgrass put Hull back in front with a sensational free kick in the 65th minute before Ross Barkley levelled things up six minutes before the end.
Everton remain in seventh place and boss Koeman was content with a point following his side's sluggish start to the game.
