SYLVAIN DISTIN claims his side's frustrating draw at Wolves could prove more valuable than first thought.[LNB]Distin admitted he and his team-mates left the field disappointed after a fiery Barclays Premier League encounter at Molineux ended in a goalless stalemate.[LNB]The draw appeared to be a setback to the in-form Toffees' hopes of snatching a European spot but Distin feels it could still be regarded as a point gained.[LNB]What might particularly have cheered the Merseysiders was news of Aston Villa's 7-1 thrashing at Chelsea, a result which means the top seven is now within their reach.[LNB]Distin said: 'There is the goal difference and, mentally, I think that is going to affect them (Villa) as well.[LNB]'It is not easy to recover after a defeat like that, so that is good for us.[LNB]'There was a bit of frustration straight after the game for us but maybe when we look at it we will realise we are still on a good run.[LNB]'We feel we have to keep the form like we are now until the end of the season and, if we deserve it, we will get it.[LNB]'Mathematically it is possible so, as long as there are enough games to do it, we will keep trying.'[LNB]Victory would have put Everton level with Villa, a side who a fortnight ago were looking good for a top-four finish. Everton might have won had they taken any of a number of chances early and late in the game.
