How Ronald Koeman led Everton to their best start to a season for a decade via The Guardian
Roberto Martínez was sacked when his tactic of trying to outscore opponents failed. Ronald Koeman is succeeding by trying to build on solid foundations

As August draws to a close and the transfer deadline nears with each passing minute, Premier League managers will be looking back on their first three games of the new season. Pep Guardiola, José Mourinho and Antonio Conte can reflect on 100% records, a feat that was nearly matched by newly appointed Everton boss Ronald Koeman. His unbeaten team go into the international break in fourth place after their best start to a Premier League season for a decade. They haven’t started this well since David Moyes took the team on a seven-match unbeaten run at the start of the 2006-07 season.
Koeman has made the ideal start as he tries to take the club back into Europe following a period of regression under Roberto Martínez. They were a tad fortunate to secure all three points against Stoke City on Saturday – a Shay Given own goal helped Everton to victory – but winning only breeds confidence.
