Sean Dyche believes his Everton side need to start bringing a 'home mentality to away games' after they were thumped by Arsenal at the Emirates.
Two goals in either half condemned the Blues to a 4-0 defeat in the capital on Wednesday night. It was a second successive defeat for Dyche after Everton were beaten by Aston Villa at the weekend.
Gabriel Martinelli scored twice while Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were also on target as Arsenal maintained their Premier League title bid. But for Everton, the result leaves them inside the relegation zone.

Everton have won just once away from home in the league so far this season and Dyche believes his side need to change their mentality for games away from Goodison Park.
He said: "You have to bring the home mentality to away games. It's been there a while [away difficulties], it's not a new thing.
Before the Everton boss added: “Someone has to start the process. The fans have been great, they came here again in numbers.
“There’s been too many soft moments in terms of goals conceded. We as staff have to try and give them the edge to perform better away.”
And when asked why he opted to replace Idrissa Gueye with Mason Holgate at the break, Dyche said: “We have three games in a week, we want to look at players.
“It’s harder to win in other games than here. We wanted to win here and be brave. But at half-time, it’s 2-0, we were frustrated.”
