Baines: 'Everton need clinical edge'

Everton defender Leighton Baines has called on the team to be more clinical in front of goal in the wake of their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.

The Toffees spurned a number of chances at Stamford Bridge on Saturday before John Terry netted a late winner for the hosts.

"We've been to all of the big grounds and acquitted ourselves really well - we've been the better side more often than not," Baines is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"That's a positive, but we've got to get more clinical in the final third."

Everton's Premier League campaign continues this Saturday when West Ham United travel to Goodison Park.
