Ian Wright makes Everton points admission after Tottenham draw at Goodison Park
Ian Wright admits he finds himself rooting for Everton to pick up every point they can in order to avoid Premier League relegation.
The Toffees were deducted 10 points by the Premier League earlier in the campaign and have since dropped into the bottom three.
Jarrad Branthwaite snatched a last-gasp equaliser to earn his side a 2-2 draw in Saturday’s (3 February) contest with Tottenham.
Speaking on Wrighty’s House [5 February, 38:49], guest Ryan Hunn said he finds himself “low-key rooting for all the Everton points”.
In response, Arsenal legend and now pundit Wright added: “Me too, yeah.”
Everton facing relegation dogfight
Everton fans are not alone in knowing the punishment they were hit with by the Premier League was completely over the top.
Those in charge wanted to send out a message amid talk of possible government intervention and therefore made an example out of Everton.
Factor in the latest possible PSR charge the Toffees face and it is clear to see why supporters feel so aggrieved.
Wright is not alone as being a neutral who is now fully behind the Merseyside club in their fight to avoid relegation, which may go down to the wire.
The point against Tottenham could prove massive come the end of the campaign, with Sean Dyche’s men, albeit they remain in the bottom three.
A truly massive month or so now awaits the Toffees, and they will have the support of not just their own fanbase but others too.
