After the Toffees' first home setback of the season, a 1-0 loss to West Ham last weekend, manager Rafael Benitez has urged his players to maintain their composure.

The Spanish manager was dissatisfied with Everton's response to Angelo Ogbonna's goal at Goodison Park 16 minutes from time.

"The main thing we learned from the West Ham game is that, even conceding, even in difficult situations against a good team, you have to continue doing things the right way," Benitez told evertontv.

"Don't panic, don't rush and play long balls without controlling the second ball. There we could do better.

"It is not about intensity or commitment or effort. It is about understanding and being precise and sure everybody is ready and concentrated for every game."
