(Reuters) - Under-fire Everton manager Marco Silva has said his side's battling performance in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Leicester City showed he had not lost the backing of the dressing room.
Kelechi Iheanacho's goal deep into stoppage time denied Everton a point at the King Power Stadium and leaves them in 17th spot on 14 points -- two points and one place above the drop zone.
"Nobody can say anything about their commitment, about their attitude or about their ambition for this game - it was clear," Silva told reporters. Despite the daunting challenge facing them at Anfield, Silva said his side would go there with confidence.
