Sylvain Distin draws consolation from Everton FC’s draw at Wolves

SYLVAIN DISTIN claims his side's frustrating draw at Wolves could prove more valuable than first thought.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.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.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.Distin said: 'There is the goal difference and, mentally, I think that is going to affect them (Villa) as well.'It is not easy to recover after a defeat like that, so that is good for us.'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.'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.'Mathematically it is possible so, as long as there are enough games to do it, we will keep trying.'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.
