Everton manager Sam Allardyce defended under-fire Morgan Schneiderlin after the midfielder was booed by his own fans during the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. That was under caretaker manager David Unsworth but since Allardyce took over, the 28-year-old has featured in every game. The Toffees boss was taken aback when Schneiderlin was booed as he replaced the injured Idrissa Gana Gueye 10 minutes from the end. It is more his muscle than to do with his (broken) leg,” added Allardyce, whose side registered only their second win in 10 matches to ease the pressure.
