Everton boss Sean Dyche says this season's survival campaign has been a unified effort.
Everton will sign off tomorrow at Arsenal.
Dyche said: "It's been a very long season for many different challenges that have come our way. A lot of work's been done by many to make sure we look after ourselves, so I'm pleased with that. [It's been a] very tiring season but the balance of that is a pleasing season.
"It's definitely been my most difficult because of the challenges. In-house is one thing but when it comes from outside and the varying things that have happened, the curve balls that have come along, it does make it challenging - reacting to them, trying to find a balanced view of it and then moving forwards again and repeating a second time round with the points [deduction], in particular.
"A lot of work [has been] done by a lot of people, I thank them for their work. Everyone's played their part."
