Phil Jagielka is refusing to pay too much attention to the embryonic Premier League table, insisting: “We need to keep going.”
Another victory at Bournemouth on Saturday will equal the Club’s post-War record for the best start to a league campaign, matching the achievements in 1969/70 when five victories and one draw was recorded in the opening six matches.
Everton could potentially move to the top of the charts with a third away win of the campaign - but Jagielka says he will only start to focus on statistics in another couple of months’ time when the league standings represent a fair reflection of every team’s early-season form.
