YOUNG: NEVER SAY DIE

Veteran Ashley says spirit at Goodison is pushing them up Prem table

- CHRIS MCKENNA

ASHLEY YOUNG believes Everton are slowly climbing the Premier League table because of a "never-say-die attitude".

The Toffees are unbeaten in five games after arresting a worrying slide at the start of the season.

Sean Dyche's side have beaten Crystal Palace and Ipswich while earning draws against Leicester, Newcastle and Fulham.

Everton's impressive run of form has taken them five points clear of the bottom three after they had lost their first four matches including blowing two-goal leads against Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
