ROBERTO MARTINEZ has warned Everton's Premier League rivals John Stones is only going to get better.
The 21-year-old centre-half and partner Phil Jagielka were magnificent as the Toffees earned a clean sheet.
The Merseysiders already have three shut-outs to their name this season, but manager Martinez reckons there is still room for improvement.
"I don't think there is a better pair of centre-backs in the Premier League," said the Spaniard.
"They are improving and John is improving in being able to learn how to perform under the most extreme circumstances.
"As a footballer you've got a human being who is inside you and the way he has coped with everything that has come his way has been incredible."
Everton's resolute defence should have been rewarded with all three points, but Romelu Lukaku spurned two great chances to snatch a winner.
