It was the fifth win in six Premier League matches for Everton and came without injury, Dominic Calvert Lewin, the team’s top scorer with 14 goals due to a hamstring injury, making Ancelotti happy with their response.
He said, “The players have adapted well. The position of James Rodriguez and Gilfi Sigurdsson created problems for them. We adapted well to the characteristics of our players and focused on the back. All four defenders were great.”
We had a different approach without Richarlison and Calvert Lewin. We played most of the attack on the wings with Iwobi and (Lucas) Denny and we worked really well because the first goal was a great combination.

President Nuno Espírito Santo said: ‘I am very concerned (about the shape). It is something we know that we need to improve but at the same time we are aware of what is happening and what we need to do for the future.
We had a good game and there weren’t many chances for both teams in the second half. It was a game set on set pieces, we get frustrated and in games with small details it turns away from us.
“Everton defended well, was organized and organized and made our mission difficult but in the second half we should have performed better. We need all the players on the team healthy so that we can improve.
“We have a strong team spirit, which in bad moments requires more unity. Soon we will be better.
