Everton's impressive run in the Premiership is down to the unbreakable team spirit shared by the players, according to Sylvain Distin.
The centre half believes the team spirit is better than having a big money payer in their ranks and says that is what brought them wins over Manchester United and Chelsea recently.
"That is something money can't buy," he told the Post. "The atmosphere and the chemistry between players is something you need, as well as big players.
"You need to feel good together as you spend a lot of time together, sometimes more time than we spend with our families.
"You have to work hard for each other and you need a good team spirit to do that."
