Everton manager Ancelotti not giving up on Europe hope
Everton boss, Carlo Ancelotti, has not given up on qualifying for Europe despite Monday’s 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Toffees are now seven points off fifth place and four points behind Spurs, who are in eighth.
Ancelotti said: “We lost a lot of second balls. We were a little bit unlucky – we could do more. We have to keep on fighting. Tottenham didn’t have a lot of chances. It was a battle in midfield. In the second half we created more opportunities. We didn’t have many chances but had a lot more possession.
