Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley has praised the club's fans for their support at Wembley on Saturday.

The 26-year-old has also promised that the players will not let their season fizzle out following the last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final.

Cleverley, who was a losing FA Cup finalist with Aston Villa last year, said: "Things just haven't been going for us this season.

"It's going to be a tough couple of days for us now but we can't feel too sorry for ourselves because we have to finish strongly in the league and then look towards next season.

"We were all fighting together as a club. The fans were magnificent and really got behind us even though we haven't been playing that well recently.

"They really sucked the ball down towards that end in the second half and, on any other day, it would have been an Everton win because we created the chances to do it."
